Bengaluru: A CID Superintendent of Police (SP) accused of blackmailing and extorting money has filed a case under the SC/ST Act against her superior officer. Both the officers are women.
The case has been filed against CID DIG Sonia Narang by CID SP Madhura Veena.
Veena had reportedly raided a four star hotel Orchid Ramada on March 3 near Cunningham road in Bengaluru. The raid was under the pretext of busting a prostitution racket being run in the hotel.
Veena along with 11 police landed in the hotel around 2:30 in the afternoon. Police had allegedly no search warrant and the officers went straight to room number 306.
In room 306, two girls had booked the room through an online booking site. Police reportedly did not find any evidence when they entered the room but the SP then allegedly asked for Rs 5 lakh bribe from the hotel. She threatened that a false case would be lodged against them if they refused to pay.
The hotel reportedly offered Rs 25000. But the police then told the hotel that it is a raid by a SP level officer and Rs 25000 was unacceptable.
The SP left behind 2 Deputy SPs at 5:45 PM. The two officers allegedly struck a deal with the hotel in room 308 at 8:25 PM for Rs 2 lakh.
CID DIG Sonia Narang after going through the CCTV footage and other documents found a prima facie case confirming the hotel's allegations. The hotel management then lodged a complaint with state DGP Omprakash who ordered a probe into the incident after discussing it with CID DGP Kishore Chandra.
A report has also been submitted to Kishore Chandra by Sonia Narang.
