Patna, (Bihar Times): The Nitish Kumar government on Sunday ordered an inquiry into the reports that more than 200 Bihar Military Police constables, who had gone to Jammu and Kashmir for training, fled to their home state on Saturday following alleged sexual harassment by a BSF havaldar in Udhampur. However, some other reports say that 136 of them have left their camp.
The DIG of BSF, Jammu, J B Sangwan, who rushed to the spot on Saturday, had ordered an inquiry into the episode. He denied the charge by saying that the Bihar Police constables probably found the BSF training too tough. The DIG (Udhampur), Asaf Ali, said that he had constituted a three-member committee to probe the allegations.
Meanwhile, the Director General of Police, Bihar, S C Jha on Sunday ordered a Bihar Military Police (BMP) commandant to visit Udhampur to look into the matter. BMP (6) Commandant Ramnarayan Singh left for Udhampur on Sunday night. In all, 370 police recruits from Bihar had gone for training at Udhampur and Jagnoo on June 1 for a 40-week course. DGP Jha too suspect that the charges appear to be frivolous, though it is premature to say anything concrete on the issue.
