Sexual harassment
Siddharthnagar: Despite police claims about being pro-active in matters of atrocities against women, there always instances of the police misbehaving with women. One of them came to light from village Bhitia in the district. A woman complained to the station officer against her relatives and neighbours, and their violent reaction. Instead of registering her complaint, the officer pinched her cheeks and spoke to her insultingly. When the people who went with her to lodge the complaint protested, he threatened to implicate them in criminal cases. The woman turned to the district police authorities. The routine bureaucratic response is that her complaint has been accepted, and that after due inquiry the culprits will be punished.
Hawala racket
Basti: A State Bank of India official, Renu Singh, is alleged to have parceled out an amount of Rs 50 lakh to different places from the account of Shankar Maurya. It is suspected that an inquiry could reveal the involvement of big officers in what is being considered to be a hawala or illegal money transfer.
