Sajjan Jindal, chairman and managing director of JSW Group of companies
The BKC police, who are probing an allegation of rape against billionaire industrialist Sajjan Jindal, have received flak online over a perceived delay in filing the complainant’s FIR. Citing apex court guidelines, social media users have asked why Jindal, chairman and managing director of JSW Group of companies, was booked on December 13 despite the woman approaching the cops in February. However, senior city police officers told mid-day that the complainant had hesitated to sign her initial statement.
After she approached the Bombay High Court on December 12, the complainant signed the papers and the FIR was filed the following day, the police claimed, adding that the court had not issued any orders to them. Officials are enquiring whether anyone intentionally delayed the registration of the FIR, with certain officers under police scrutiny for potential mala fide intentions.
