I have perused the relevant portion of the CD including the statement of the witnesses-cum-alleged victims. The victims in the statement have implicated the petitioner and from the materials revealed by the investigation through their statements the element of sexual gesture under section 75 of BNS would also be attracted prima facie. The petitioner was discharging a very responsible duty of being an Instructor in the prestigious State Police Academy, Dergaon and the allegation pertains to improper and ugly behavior with regard to the Women Constable Trainees.
