SURYAPET: A senior officer from a department in the Suryapet Collectorate has been accused of sexually harassing a junior assistant in the same office. The matter came to light on Thursday after the victim submitted a formal complaint to the District Collector.

According to the complaint, the accused officer, aged around 50, had been harassing the junior assistant for some time. The harassment reportedly included sending inappropriate messages to her mobile phone. The victim, unable to tolerate the ongoing harassment, approached the Collector to seek justice.

It is also reported that the officer issued a memo against her, accusing her of negligence in her duties when she resisted his advances. Feeling increasingly harassed, the woman eventually decided to bring the matter to the attention of the authorities.

In response to the complaint, the Collector assured the victim that an investigation would be conducted by a designated committee and that appropriate action would be taken.

Sources have indicated that this is not the first time such allegations have surfaced against the officer. In the past, other women employees had allegedly faced similar misconduct, which they addressed internally.

The district administration has assured that a thorough inquiry will be carried out to determine the facts of the case, with measures to ensure the victim’s safety and prevent further harassment.
