Recently, news emerged in which a female Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) in Faridkot, Punjab, allegedly tied her five-year-old granddaughter to the gate of her home and left her there in the scorching heat. Police were immediately suspended after receiving information about the incident. The police announced this on Wednesday.
The ASI was suspended after a clip went viral on social media showing a girl crying while her hands and feet were tied to the gate with a cloth.
Hearing the girl’s cries, a neighbor filmed the incident and went to the girl’s house to untie her and rescue her.
During the police investigation, it was found that the girl’s parents live in Portugal and the girl has been left in the care of her grandmother.
According to information, the ASI woman has been identified as ASI Sarabjit Kaur, a Mahila Mitra (women’s helpdesk) in Faridkot.
