Court Orders Probe against Bharti Arora


Haryana's whistleblower and lady IPS officer Bharti Arora to check cow smuggling

Haryana's whistleblower and lady IPS officer Bharti Arora, who shot into prominence in October 2015 after she had levelled serious allegations against the then Gurgaon Police Commissioner Navdeep, will now supervise and monitor the functioning of the teams constituted in all districts of the State to effectively check slaughter and smuggling of cows.

The proposal to this effect has been cleared by Chief Minister Manohar Lal who is much worried about cow smuggling than the growing menace of drug addiction in the state.

A six year old controversy had cost dear to Bharti Arora during last year when Haryana government had transferred her as a principal of a government sports school in Rai near Sonipat last year. This was the first time when an IPS officer was posted as a principal in a school.

Bharti Arora had hogged limelight in October 2015 when she had levelled serious allegations of harassment, mental torture and interference in a high profile rape case against Gurgaon Police Commissioner, Navdeep Virk.

She was transferred as Gurgaon Joint Police Commissioner on October 12 and posted as Deputy Inspector General of Police, Welfare and Training at Police Headquarters, Panchkula.

Sources said a controversy had kicked off between the lady cop and the then Ambala Cantonment MLA Anil Vij (now Health Minister). Anil Vij had led a protest against the then Congress government in 2009 and had blocked the road. Bharti Arora who was posted as Superintendent of Police had acted against him and had ordered his arrest. Anil Vij was later granted bail in the case.
When contacted, Anil Vij termed the controversy a thing of the past and praised Bharti Arora for being a disciplined officer.

Earlier in November 2015 another woman IPS officer Sangeeta Kalia was shunted out out of Fatehabad after a verbal spat with Anil Vij.
