New Delhi: A shocking incident has emerged that involves RPF Inspector Sunita Minj, who has reportedly filed over nine cases under the SC/ST Act against her colleagues and subordinates. Allegations suggest that these actions may be an attempt to settle personal scores and extort individuals within the Railway Protection Force (RPF).Allegations of misconductAccording to reports, Inspector Minjs filings have raised serious questions about the legitimacy of her claims. Critics argue that these complaints are not based on genuine issues but rather stem from personal grudges. Such misuse of the SC/ST Act not only undermines the trust in the legal framework designed to protect marginalized individuals but also tarnishes the reputation of law enforcement.Domestic turmoilAdding a layer of complexity to this situation is the alleged turmoil in Minjs personal life. Her husband, Dipak Shrivastava, a railway employee aged 42, reportedly suspected her of having an extramarital affair. This suspicion has led to frequent quarrels between the couple since their marriage two years ago. The couples domestic issues may have contributed to the ongoing conflicts within the RPF, potentially influencing Minjs actions against her colleagues.Video surfaces on social mediaMeet RPF Inspector Sunita Minj, who filed more than 9 cases under the SC/ST Act against her colleagues and subordinates to allegedly settle her grudges against them and to extort.pic.twitter.com/tHQ77ajATF— NCMIndia Council For Men Affairs (@NCMIndiaa) September 22, 2024Reactions and investigationsThe situation has prompted scrutiny from various quarters.
