Pune dowry harassment-suicide case: Top Maharashtra prison official shifted to Home Guards
MUMBAI: (May 30) Special Inspector General of Police Jalindar Supekar, whose name had cropped up in the Vaishnavi Hagawane dowry harassment-suicide case, was on Friday transferred from the prisons department to the Home Guards as deputy commandant general.
The transfer comes a day after the state government relieved him of additional responsibilities as deputy inspector general of prisons of Nashik, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Nagpur divisions.
Vaishnavi Hagawane allegedly committed suicide in Pune's Bavdhan area on May 16, with her kin alleging that her in-laws and others had tortured her for dowry. Her father-in-law Rajendra Hagawane was subsequently expelled from the NCP after the case hit national headlines.
