Bhatkal, Aug 29: Revati, a police sub-inspector attached to the Bhatkal town police station resigned from the service after she was suspended for allegedly trying to protect criminals and threatening a local businessman for complaining against them.
Confirming the development, Uttara Kannada Superintendent of Police C. Vamshi Krishna, said that he had suspended Revati on the charge of dereliction of duty on Saturday and the latter submitted her resignation to the Circle Inspector of Police of Bhatkal Circle on Sunday.
Mohsin, a businessman from Bhatkal, had directly complained to the Director-General and Inspector-General Police in Bengaluru a fortnight ago that six persons were harassing him, issuing life threats and were demanding a hafta' of Rs. 20 lakh.
The complaint was referred to Mr. Krishna who in turn referred it to the Bhatkal town station with an instruction to register the complaint as it was a serious issue.
But instead of registering the case, the sub-inspector allegedly called the Mr. Mohsin to the station, threatened him and asked him to compromise with the accused. She kept the compliant with her for about a week without registering it.
The Assistant Superintendent of Police, Bhatkal sub-division, who learnt about this, registered a case against six persons. Of them, two have been arrested and four were at large.
Later, the ASP sent a report to this effect to Mr. Krishna pointing out the dereliction of duty of the sub-inspector. She was suspended based on the ASP's report.

Being a female officer, she spoiled the image of other honest female officers.
Dept and home affairs must take immediate action with this culprit Revathi. She might be a follower of criminal out fit. Dept must investigate about her assets.
This is shame to Police Dept.
why only suspended she is equal to the criminals, she should be punished put her behind bar for 10years so other police whoever eating dogs shit should be scared of it.
this is the way things should work fire the corrupt officers. better hang them. if the police does their duty then there will be no law and order issue in india. govt should support the police and let them discharge their duty.
