The Joint Commissioner had written a letter to Director General of Police, Haryana against Navdeep Singh asking for DGP’s intervention in the issue saying that he might spoil her career.

According to a report on India Today, Bharti claimed that she was handed over the responsibility of supervising and investigating a rape case which she found to be a false case where in an entire family including old parents, a brother and a sister were framed by the Police Commissioner.

Bhardwaj was arrested by the Gurgaon Police from his office in Noida on August 1, 2014, and booked under sections 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC, after the woman accused him of raping her for over three years and also taking all her alimony money from her first divorce on the pretext of marrying her after his own divorce. She’s alleged that while the offences can not be made out, Virk was on implicating Bhardwaj crouched.

All is not well in the top brass of the Gurgaon police.

Mr Virk, who has denied the charges, has accused Ms Arora of shielding the accused because of “vested interest” in the case. I objected and told him this is wrong.

“The rape victim has also been given security on the orders of the Supreme Court and she has made several complaints about the misconduct of JCP Arora”, Virk added.

When contacted, Virk said, “I don’t know about any such complaint”.

It was established during the investigation that the alleged rape accused Ajay Bhardwaj, son of a senior IAS officer, and his family was intentionally implicated in the rape case, JCP Arora said.
