Family of Gudiya Case Witness Alleges Police Harassment Amid Disciplinary ActionPreviousNext

Relatives of constable Dinesh Sharma, a key witness in the Gudiya rape and murder case, have accused police of harassment, citing his repeated transfers and suspension despite his caregiving responsibilities for his disabled son. Sharma's testimony was pivotal in convicting eight police officers for custodial death. The family has sought government intervention and threatened legal action if justice is not served. Police officials state disciplinary action is due to Sharma's alleged indiscipline and non-compliance with orders.
