Police Deny Lapses in Sexual Harassment Investigation in Alappuzha

The Alappuzha District Police Chief has firmly denied any failure in the investigation of a case involving alleged sexual harassment of a woman. The incident took place when the woman was being transported to a hospital following an accident.

State Police Chief Ravada A Chandrasekhar requested a comprehensive report after the victim raised concerns over investigative lapses. She claimed her statement wasn't recorded, nor was a medical exam performed, over a week post-incident.

The alleged offender, Sinil Sabad, was reportedly released on bail since the charge invokes a sentence of less than seven years. Authorities assured the investigation remains on track, with witnesses already providing their statements. Future actions depend on the court's recording of the victim's statement.
