A TRAINEE IPS officer, who was booked for allegedly stalking and sexually harassing a fellow woman trainee at the SVPNPA here was hospitalised on Monday after a suspected suicide attempt, police said. A doctor treating him said the trainee officer was brought to the private hospital in an unconscious state by his brother and friends at around 9.30 am, who suspected that he might have consumed some harmful substance. The doctor said that a stomach wash was performed and nothing “abnormal” was found.

 

The blood and urine samples were sent for tests and his vital parameters were stable, the doctor told mediapersons. A 30-year-old woman trainee IPS officer, had lodged a complaint with police, accusing the fellow IPS officer trainee of harassing her by sending sexually abusive messages through an instant messaging app since June 23 and also making derogatory comments about her within the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (SVPNPA) in front of her friends.
