The prison department on Friday suspended the controversial Thane jailor Hiralal Jadhav, following the case of molestation registered against him by a lady constable. Bhushan Upadhyay, DIG of prison confirmed the development and said that such behaviour from a senior cop was not acceptable.

The victim, a 31-year-old female police constable with the Thane Central Jail had filed a complaint against Jadhav, Thane Jail's superintendent of police on Wednesday night. The complaint under Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 354 A (physical contact and advances involving unwelcome and explicit sexual overtures) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was registered with the Thane police.

The accused, however, on Thursday applied for anticipatory bail.

According to the police, the female constable was posted to the Thane jail around six months ago and allocated a police quarters on a temporary basis.

She, however, had plans of moving her mother and sister with her, but on August 22, there was a reshuffle and her quarters were allotted to someone else. At the time, she has said in her statement, she requested Jadhav to look into the matter and help her out.
