The Bopal police on Tuesday booked a man and a “police personnel” under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocity) Act for allegedly threatening and abusing a Dalit woman in Ahmedabad.
The FIR was registered on the basis of a complaint filed by Divya Jadav (22), who alleged that she and her family members were allegedly threatened by a neighbour on Monday and when she called the Bopal police station for help, “a policeman who received the call” abused her.
Along with the neighbour, Utkarsh Barot, the police have booked the “unknown person who spoke on the phone” to Divya.
The police said Divya lives in a rented accommodation with her family. In her complaint to the police, she accused Barot of “trying to choke her mother” and using casteist slurs while asking the family to vacate the house.
According to the FIR, following this, Divya called up the Bopal police station seeking help “since Barot was knocking on their door”. She was informed by a policeman who took her call that a police vehicle will reach them soon. However, as the vehicle did not arrive, Divya again called the police station.
