The District Grievance Redressal Committee meeting was held on Tuesday in the mini-secretariat auditorium under the chairmanship of DC Priti. During the hearing of different cases, she directed the police department to immediately register FIRs in three separate complaints — related to fraud in sending a girl abroad, a physical assault, and deduction of a woman’s money by a finance company.
She also instructed action against an Investigating Officer (IO) for negligence in an assault case investigation. Out of 15 complaints presented in the meeting, 10 were resolved on the spot.
In the first case, Manjeet Singh, a resident of Siwan Gate, alleged that Ravi and others running a Chandigarh-based firm defrauded him of ₹9–10 lakh on the pretext of sending his daughter abroad. Despite earlier directions, police failed to register an FIR. DC Priti ordered DSP to immediately file the case.
In the second case, Satish Kumar of Janakpuri Colony complained that when he objected to four youths consuming alcohol in his lane, they assaulted him. Despite CCTV evidence, police did not take action. DC Priti directed the DSP to file an FIR against the accused and ordered departmental action against the negligent IO.
