Jharkhand: In a post on social media website Facebook, the 28-year-old woman IAS officer gave the details of the incident and claimed that she had been sexually harassed and ‘threatened’ by the senior male official.
Woman IAS officer wrote a post on her Facebook page, giving details of the incident. She wrote that the male officer, her boss, summoned her to his office on May 22 and “threatened” her. “He questioned me why I write on files the wrongs the department has done,” she wrote.
The Facebook post further read that the senior official summoned her on May 31 “and instructed his staff that no other person should enter the room”.
“He asked me to tell what type of work I wanted to do, whether I want departmental work or time-pass work… And then he asked me to stop writing adverse comments on the files….He told me that like a newly wed bride, she has to be explained everything, and he was explaining to me in the same manner. His behaviour seemed immoral,” she alleged.
The woman further claimed that the senior official harassed her on June 6 in his office, where he called her at 5 pm and made her stay there till 7.39 pm. “I was sitting on the other side of the table in front of him. He asked me to get up and come closer to his chair. When I reached the other side of the table, he pretended to teach me how to operate a computer. I rushed back to my chair… After some time, he got up. Pretending to find a paper, he came close to my chair and pushed it,” she wrote.
She also claimed that she is also being threatened by some of his colleagues, while another senior female officer has warned her against filing any complaint in writing.
The woman officer also claimed that her police security had been withdrawn and that she had sent an e-mail to the office of President of India with regard to the entire incident.
