New Delhi, Aug 20 (Agencies) : A chargesheet will be filed on Thursday against an immigration officer at the Delhi International Airport after a woman from Bangalore accused him of sexual harassment in March 2015. The officer Vinod Kumar will be produced in Delhi. He was arrested for verbally harassing the woman passenger Ramona Crasta who took a flight to Hong Kong on March 18 from Delhi.

Even 6 months after the incident, the police were silent on this case. On Wednesday after extenstive television media reports on the case, Delhi police on Thursday came forward to file a chargesheet.

The Home Ministry had already suspended the officer after the allegations. The woman claimed that he allegedly verbally sexually harassed her by asking some offensive questions when she was flying to Hong Kong via Delhi on March 18.

The woman claimed that the immigration officer harassed her by asking her several uncomfortable personal questions. The incident took place when the woman was at the immigration counter before she boarded the flight for Hong Kong where she had to meet her husband.

According to the complaint, the officer not only harassed her during the immigration process at the desk, but also by following her along at the escalator, between the domestic and international transfer.

According to the complaint, she was asked questions like, how many children do you have, do you drink, do you smoke, do you eat chicken, do you sleep with other men when your husband is at work. Not once or twice, but he asked her four times if she had undergone a surgery for birth control. He even asked her whether she would like to have her third child with him.
