The police investigation into the sexual harassment complaint against Jose K Peter, former MD of Thodupuzha Urban Cooperative Bank Ltd, faces allegations of sabotage, says a report in the New Indian Express.
The survivor, a senior woman employee, filed the complaint in June, leading to Jose’s suspension and resignation after an internal probe confirmed her claims.
She accuses police of delays and irregularities, including the removal of a supportive female officer from the probe team. The survivor’s family alleges collusion between the accused and the police, citing procedural lapses and claims that the investigation is being deliberately derailed. Police deny closing the case, but doubts persist.
