Court moved over insult to woman officer, Hindalga Jail
Assistant Superintendent of the jail Mallikarjun Konnur has filed a private complaint with the second JMFC court
Within the confines of Hindalga Central Jail, a woman officer has found herself embroiled in a dispute involving two individuals. Assistant Superintendent Mallikarjun Konnur lodged a complaint with the JMFC court, accusing Saikumar Nagalingaiah, known as Kunigal Suri, and social media personality Sandhya Nagaraj of insulting the officer and damaging the reputation of the jail through viral videos on social media.
These videos purportedly showed the woman officer engaging in "nude video calls" with a prison inmate several years ago. The two accused individuals used the jail, key government figures, and law enforcement officials in their messages, alleging that these prominent figures permitted illicit and immoral activities within the jail.
This has led to the tarnishing of both the State government's image and the jail's century-old legacy. Concomitantly, officials from the Cyber, Narcotics, and Economic Police Station have also filed a complaint. In response to the allegations, Sandhya Nagaraj has released a video stating she has received a notice from the Belagavi Police, requesting her to provide a statement as part of their investigation.
She has expressed her willingness to cooperate, provided she receives the necessary bus fare for her journey from Bengaluru to Belagavi. The woman officer, previously a member of the Karnataka State Industrial Security force, is currently stationed in Bengaluru and has filed her own police complaint against Kunigal Suri and another individual for similar charges.
