PATNA: A sub-inspector (SI) in Saharsa district was suspended after a video showing him receiving a body massage on the police outpost premises from the mother of a rape accused went viral on social media on Thursday. The SI, Shashi Bhushan Sinha, was posted at Darhar outpost under Nauhatta police station area in the district. One woman was giving him massage on the back while another was sitting in front of him.
In the video clip, he is heard talking to someone, probably a lawyer, over the phone and discussing the case of the woman’s son, who is in jail. Sinha could even be heard showing sympathy towards the woman and saying that the lady is poor and will reach the court with the Aadhaar card. He requests the man on the other side to help her as he would to spend Rs10,000 from his own pocket for the bail of the accused.
ADG (headquarters) JS Gangwar told TOI that the SI was suspended by Saharsa SP Lipi Singh and a departmental inquiry had also been initiated against him.
“As soon as we came to know about the incident, Sinha was taken off the duty on Thursday,” said Gangwar.
As the video shows, the police officer was receiving the body massage in his residential room on the campus of Darhar outpost. Sinha could be seen semi-nude and only in a towel.
Saharsa SP Lipi Singh said she got to know about the incident on Thursday afternoon and asked the SDPO to inquire about it.
“After the SDPO submitted the report, the SI was suspended by 6pm the same day. I have also written for departmental proceedings against him,” Lipi said.
“A minor girl was raped by two boys on March 16. The woman seen giving massage to the SI is the mother of one of the rape accused who is in jail,” the SP said.
