For Madhu Malti, a woman police inspector in Meerut, it was just another mundane day of duty. But in a flash everything changed and now she finds herself cornered for what she claims "just following a senior's orders."
Malti, now under suspension for thrashing young lovers in Meerut's Gandhi Park Monday in full view of TV cameras, says: "I did not do anything wrong that day. I am being victimised because the seniors have not owned up their responsibilities.
"I was not leading a 25-member team but I am being punished as I do not have any political links like many others in the team to save my job. I am being punished because I am a woman. I need a job to support my family." |
