Women's panel summons IPS officer again in Trinamool leader abuse case in Bengal
Following this, NCW issued a second, more strongly worded notice on July 2, instructing him to be present in person at the Commission's headquarters in New Delhi on July 14 at 12:00 PM.The Commission said that the matter under investigation involves "grave allegations" and deserves the "highest level of institutional accountability and transparency".NCW, in its letter, stated that no further extension would be granted. The letter mentioned that if the SP is unable to attend due to exceptional and documented law-and-order responsibilities, either the Additional Superintendent of Police or the SDPO of Bolpur must appear instead, carrying all case-related documents, records, and materials previously requested by the Commission.advertisementA source informed India Today that this latest notice will be treated as the final and binding opportunity for compliance. Any failure to follow through would be seen as a wilful obstruction of an ongoing statutory enquiry and could trigger appropriate legal proceedings under the National Commission for Women Act, 1990.The summons is linked to the case involving the alleged verbal abuse of Bolpur police station's inspector in charge, Liton Halder, by TMC's Anubrata Mondal.The incident, which drew sharp criticism, prompted NCW to initiate an enquiry to assess whether proper action was taken and to ensure that the rights of women connected to the police officer were not violated.- Ends

Rajeev Kumar Sharma takes charge as Rajasthan DGP in Jaipur
Senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Rajeev Kumar Sharma took charge as the Director General of Police (DGP) of Rajasthan in Jaipur on Thursday (July 3, 2025), succeeding former DGP Utkal Ranjan Sahoo, who took voluntary retirement after being appointed chairman of the State Public Service Commission. Anti-Corruption Bureau's (ACB) DG Ravi Prakash Meharda, who was given additional charge of the State DGP after Mr. Sahoo's exit, retired on June 30. Mr. Sharma was earlier on the Central deputation, serving as Director General of the Bureau of Police Research and Development, New Delhi. Mr. Sharma, an IPS officer of the Rajasthan cadre, arrived at the Police Headquarters in Jaipur on Thursday (July 3, 2025) after being relieved by the Centre following a formal request sent by the State government earlier this week. The Department of Personnel has issued an order for his appointment for a period of two years. The appointment was made on the basis of a recommendation made by the empanelment committee, which was formed by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). The State government had submitted a panel of seven DGP-rank IPS officers, in the order of seniority, for consideration by the UPSC. Mr. Sharma said after assuming office that he would concentrate on taking forward the 'glorious traditions' of Rajasthan police and make Rajasthan a model State in policing for the entire country. 'The police team of the State will work with promptness, sensitivity and collaboration to ensure safety and security for all. Every police station will be people-friendly,' he said. Hailing from Uttar Pradesh's Mathura, Mr. Sharma earlier held several key positions in Rajasthan, including the ACB DG, State Disaster Response Force DG and Director of the Rajasthan Police Academy. He also served as Superintendent of Police in several districts. He was awarded the President's Police Medal in 2014.
