Lt Col Booked For Stalking Colleague

A Lieutenant Colonel has been booked for allegedly stalking a colleague during a marathon. The incident came to light after the woman officer lodged a complaint online, following which a first information report (FIR) was registered in Kolkata.

The case has been transferred to the Azad Maidan police station in Mumbai, where further investigation will be carried out. The woman officer, who has not been named, reported the incident to the authorities, stating that she was stalked by her colleague during the marathon.

The Lieutenant Colonel, whose identity has not been disclosed, is accused of stalking the woman officer, causing her distress and alarm. The FIR was registered based on the woman's complaint, and the police are now investigating the matter.

The incident highlights the issue of stalking and harassment, even in professional settings. The fact that the accused is a high-ranking officer in the military makes the case even more shocking. The police are taking the matter seriously and are working to gather evidence and build a case against the accused.

The transfer of the case to the Azad Maidan police station indicates that the incident may have occurred in Mumbai, although the FIR was registered in Kolkata. The police are likely to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and gather statements from witnesses and the accused.

The outcome of the investigation and any subsequent action against the accused will depend on the evidence gathered by the police. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of taking complaints of stalking and harassment seriously and ensuring that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.

The Mumbai police have not commented on the case, but it is likely that they will be working closely with the military authorities to investigate the incident and take appropriate action. The case is a sensitive one, and the police will need to balance the need to investigate the allegations with the need to respect the rights and reputations of those involved.
