Udupi, Apr 15: Suspension of Prakash, a constable from Malpe police station, has been withdrawn, as per sources from police.
Prakash was suspended by the police department for slapping Kumar, a tractor driver working with district in-charge minister Pramod Madhwaraj. Prakash had alleged that his pregnant wife was eve teased by Kumar outside an ATM when he was withdrawing money. Prakash had called for Hoysala police squad and slapped Kumar for his behaviour.
Suspension of Prakash had attracted criticism. There were blames that the minister and his wife were involved in the suspension in order to defend Kumar. BJP too had protested and demanded the cancellation of suspension.
It is said that Prakash has been transferred to a police station in Karkala.
Fair picture of the incidents that took place after the alleged eve teasing is yet to be known to the general public. Investigations are in progress.
