The senior Police Inspector (PI) of Chunabhatti Police station, Deepak Pagare, has been suspended after a woman Assistant Police Inspector (API) accused him of sexual harassment at workplace. The suspension came after an initial enquiry into the API's complaint to the Commissioner of Police (CP) Sanjay Barve this week.

"The matter has been referred to the Vishaka Committee of Mumbai police to enquire into the allegations. Further action will be taken once the committee submits its report. The suspension was based on an initial enquiry," a senior IPS officer told mid-day.
