Mumbai, January 31: A junior police official in Mumbai requested his boss to permit him to commit suicide as he could no longer take the mental torture that was being inflicted on him.
The 34-year-old police constable accused his boss of persecuting him for no reason,
The incident occurred on January 25 morning, when Ganesh Bharat Kamble met Senior Inspector Vijay Dhopavkar and handed over the suicide letter seeking permission to kill himself.
Upon reading the note, Dhopavkar simply laughed at Kamble and pointing to his mobile phone he said that if the constable dared to commit suicide right then and there, he would record the incident on his mobile phone camera.
Kamble was further humiliated and he drank two bottles of phenyl that he had hidden in his pocket earlier.
Dhopavkar not only did not bother taking him to the hospiotal but ordered the latter’s colleagues to arrest him. Kamble was rushed to the nearest hospital by the same colleagues.
Kamble told the daily that Dhopavkar torments his junior staff. He does not forward leave applications filed by junior officials as a result they receive only a small percentage of their actual salary. For example, Kamble is entitled to receive around Dh1,500 every month but he receives only a paltry Dh450, as the rest of his salary is cut for taking unsanctioned leave.
Kamble’s colleagues supported his claims.
Dhopavkar told the daily Kamble is mentally unstable and an alcoholic.
