Panaji: A lady police constable Abhijita Chari (22) attempted suicide alleging stress and mental harassment at her work place.
Chari, who joined Indian Reserve Battalion (IRB) in June 2006, consumed twelve tablets on Saturday at 7 pm in the barracks. On seeing that she was not feeling well, her colleagues rushed her to Goa Medical College, Bambolim.
The doctors at GMC said that she had consumed Crocin, Norflox and Lomotil. She was given a stomach wash and admitted in a ward. Doctors said that her condition was stable.
Speaking to TOI, Chari said that she had attempted suicide as she was stressed after being mentally harassed for the last two years by her seniors. She also said that she had informed the SP Waman Tari, who is also the deputy commandant of IRB, about her situation at an orderly rule on Friday.
Confirming this, SP Tari said that he had heard her on Friday. “The reason why she attempted suicide is not yet known. We will be conducting an inquiry into this to find out what the problem is,” he said.
Meanwhile, her mother, Arjuna Chari alleged that her daughter’s seniors were deliberately trying to defame her by creating an impression that she is of loose character. A medicolegal case has been registered.
