In her complaint, the IPS officer said that on reaching Khudengtabi check post on Sunday afternoon one of her escorts, who was not in uniform, told the frisking party of Assam Rifles to register their entry.
She said despite showing their identity cards, the rifleman allegedly detained them.
The rifleman began hitting the official vehicle and “misbehaved, humiliated, harassed and assaulted me and my escort personnel,” she alleged.
The IPS officer also alleged that the rifleman molested her and when her escorts tried to intervene, he thrashed them.
She also accused the rifleman of making “sexually coloured” remarks against her, using abusive language and even tried to snatch her phone when she tried to call her senior officers.
