Mangalore: Two more complaints against ACP T R Jagannath
Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (SP)
Mangalore, May 25: Nazeer, owner of Atlas Jewellery in Thokkottu, in a complaint to the city police commissioner, has alleged that assistant commissioner of police, T R Jagannath, had taken sides with a person, who had cheated him after purchasing gold ornaments from his shop on credit. He has alleged that the ACP had threatened him of dire consequences.
A person named Majeed had reportedly bought gold ornaments worth five lac rupees from the above shop. He paid one lac rupees in cash, and handed over two cheques signed by his wife, Maimoona, for the remaining amount. Both the cheques were returned unpaid upon presentation, and manager of the shop, Sajeer, had filed a police complaint.
Nazeer has alleged that the ACP interfered in the matter when the police took up the case, collected both the cheques from the shop owner, and handed them over to Majeed. He then arranged for payment of half the amount due from Majeed, and sought time for the payment of remaining amount. “As the ACP had arranged this transaction, I agreed for the same,” Nazeer said in his complaint.
“As the money remained unpaid for long, I approached the ACP. He said he was not my employee to recover the money. He also challenged me to recover the money due from Majeed if I had the guts to do so. He threatened to close down my business if I filed a complaint in this regard,” Nazeer said in his complaint.
In the complaint, he has sought action against Majeed and his wife Maimuna, for cheating him after buying gold ornaments on credit, and the ACP for joining hands with the accused.

In another complaint delivered to the city police commissioner on Friday May 24, ASI Shreekala accused ACP, T R Jagannath, of abetment towards filing a false complaint against her. "The ACP brought pressure on me to withdraw the earlier complaint of harassment filed by me, and to agree for an amicable understanding. As I did not give my consent to this suggestion, with the help of Mohan, a writer in the department, he has got a complaint registered against me and my husband, Sanjay Kumar, a case of defrauding people by running a scheme of doubling the investment," she said in the complaint.
Police commissioner, Manish Karbikar, confirmed receipt of the second complaint. He said that Shreekala has informed that she does not have the confidene of getting justice from the present inquiry, as ACP Jagannath, and DCP, Mutturaya, are officers of the same batch. The commissioner clarified that the two do not belong to the same batch, and that he has no other option, as the commissionerate here has only two DCP rank officers.
