In a bizarre case, officials from Khajoori Khas police station have filed a report before a city court stating they cannot provide security to an alleged rape victim because of her “abnormal” behaviour.

Ramesh Dahiya, the additional Station House Officer of Khajoori Khas police station, has said in the report that due to the woman's (name withheld to protect identity) conduct, constables posted as her private security officers feel “scared”.

In the report submitted before Additional Sessions Judge Sunita Gupta, Dahiya wrote, “No constable is willing to work as PSO with her due to fear, and her abnormal behaviour.”

The woman was provided a private security officer (PSO) on the Delhi High Court’s recommendation in 2004.

In his letter, Dahiya said the woman would often “misbehave” with the constables sent for her security and “create a scene” whenever they refused to accept her demands. “She frequently visits the police station and threatens to commit suicide by jumping in the Yamuna,” Dahiya’s report to the court says. “Her behaviour is abnormal and she can take extreme steps any time.”

It says the woman would often pick up fights with her neighbour without “any reason” and then ask the PSO to intervene.

“Since a woman PSO is not acceptable to her, it is requested that a PSO may be provided from District Line (also in Delhi Police’s Northeast district) instead of Khajoori Khas,” the report says.

A constable deployed as her PSO had earlier told the court during a hearing that she often asked him to dance with her.
