New Delhi: Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has sought a detailed report in an alleged molestation case reported in the Navy.
The accused, a senior Navy officer, has been sent on forced leave after a junior woman officer accused him of molesting her twice. The accused is a Surgeon Doctor in the Navy and a Commander level officer.
Navy spokesperson Captain DK Sharma had said that appropriate action will be taken against the guilty. "Navy has a zero tolerance policy for such issues. Appropriate action will be taken once the inquiry is completed and the report is submitted," he had said.
The case was reported on May 6 and the Navy ordered an enquiry on May 9. The enquiry team has submitted a preliminary report to the Navy headquarters.
Sources had said the woman, a Lieutenant, had complained that her senior, a Commander rank officer, molested her twice. Incidentally, one of the incident happened at the house of an Admiral. At the time of the incident, the Admiral was on official duty in Vishakapatnam.
He had called for the medical team to check on his 95-year-old mother who is bed ridden. The accused doctor was awarded with Vishist Seva Medal in 2016.
