GUWAHATI: The police officer who has previously been suspended from her position for being the prime accused of assaulting house help is absconding from authorities in Guwahati.
The police officer has been identified as APS Subhalakshmi Dutta. This development has raised concerns and heightened the urgency of her apprehension.
According to local police, Subhalakshmi Dutta had been allegedly hiding at the residence of a former MLA in Guwahati for the past five days, after her suspension stemming from allegations of torturing her maid in Nazira, Assam.
Upon receiving information regarding Dutta's whereabouts and her evasion from the authorities, the Sivasagar Police swiftly mobilised a team of five officials and dispatched them to Guwahati.
In collaboration with the Basistha Police, they initiated an operation in the Jayanagar area of Six Mile, Guwahati to locate and apprehend the absconding police official on Tuesday morning, as confirmed by the Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Bashistha Police.
Unfortunately, it was reported that Dutta managed to elude capture upon sensing the presence of law enforcement.
Further details await.
