Good intentions and the sublime intention of doing good do not always have a happy ending, they can also lead to your suspension from the nation's oldest political party and your falling foul with the proverbial "long" arm of the law.......
Uttarakhand Youth Congress General Secretary Ritu Khandiyal was summarily suspended from her party post by the state's unit president on Monday for her alleged involvement in a sexual scandal or then should I say picadilloe involving a high ranking government official, the alleged victim and her accomplices, and all this while the state police officials were trying to establish contact with her in order to clearly understand her role in the sordid proceedings..........
To refresh the readers memory, a 29 year old woman had on November 25 alleged that the additional Secretary (Home) J.P.Joshi had summoned her to a room in the Police Lines Officers' Club on the pretext of offering her a government job and then proceeded to brutally sexually assault (rape) her in the said room.......
In a counter complaint and belated effort to save his skin, the tainted government official Joshi had filed a counter complaint with the state police alleging the fact that the woman and her two male accomplices were threatening, harassing, intimidating him and also making incessant demands for an obscene amount of cash in order to hush up this unsavoury episode........
According to the latest version of events put out by the two interested parties, Ritu who was known to both parties had selflessly come forward to mediate between the two parties and help them in arriving at an amicable solution acceptable to both the concerned parties.......
In her one and only conversation with the accused government official, Ritu had apprised him of the fact that the victim and her two male accomplices were demanding an amount of Rs. 3 crore to hush up the entire matter; Ritu then left for Dubai thereafter (three days before the grived woman filed a police complaint alleging rape) and has been ensconed in Dubai ever since this matter hit the headlines..........
The beleaguered and bewildered police department has ever since been trying to establish telephonic contact with her, but to their utter disbelief and dismay, Ritu Khandiyal's telephones have remained switched off for well over a fortnight now............
And thereby hangs a tale of sleaze, counter sleaze, efforts to besmirch each other's reputation and a misplaced though well intentioned attempt to mediate between two warring parties...........
