Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation
The Thane police have registered a sexual assault case against a senior official from the Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation (UMC). The case was filed by a female employee of the UMC, who accused the official of inappropriate behaviour. However, senior officials allege that the complaint was lodged because the accused did not support a hoarding contractor, and had instead imposed a fine on him. The officials further claim that the complainant was backing the contractor and is now under internal investigation.
According to the police, the complainant is a 42-year-old woman employed as a clerk with the UMC. In her police report, she alleges that the senior official made lewd comments and attempted to get closer to her between 2023 and 2024. Despite her attempts to distance herself from these inappropriate advances, she claims the official continued to misbehave. Following the incident, she lodged a written complaint with the UMC’s ‘Visakha Committee,’ which investigated the matter and submitted its report on September 5, 2023. However, the victim claims that the then Commissioner Aziz Shaikh did not act on the report.
