Bhatkal, Sep 3: Police sub inspector Revati Revankar, who resigned from the service last week after being suspended on charge of “dereliction of duty”, has now taken revenge against her seniors by revealing some shocking secrets of the communally sensitive coastal town.

Ms Revati, who was posted in Bhatkal town police station, in a complaint to the state chief minister and home minister, has claimed that a few senior police officers in Uttara Kannada tried to cover up the case of attempt to create communal tension in the district.

According her, a few local leaders of Bharatiya Janata Party were involved in the case of throwing meat or beef at Hindu religious centres such as temples in Bhatakal and their intention was to disrupt peace in the society. A few senior police officers, who knew this fact, tried their best to cover up the case.

Accusing some local politicians of trying to create a major communal riot in Bhatkal ahead of next assembly polls for political gains, she lamented that a few senior police officers were protecting such politicians.

In her complaint, she also claimed that constant threats and harassment from senior officers prevented her from taking strict lawful actions against “communal goons”.

Earlier speaking to media persons she rubbished the allegations of dereliction of duty and said that her seniors did not allow her to discharge her duties impartially and honestly. “The allegations against me are baseless. They were in fact waiting for an opportunity to suspend me,” she said.
