In the dowry appeal case against IPS officer Varunkumar, the Tamil Nadu government in its reply to the Supreme Court said that IPS officer Varunkumar had illegally destroyed the evidence in the computer and the Supreme Court should issue the relevant orders based on the evidence already filed.
Training for Civil Service-Fellow Female Training Student Habits
Varunkumar, who is currently the Tiruvallur District Superintendent of Police, was selected for the Indian Police in 2011. For this, while studying at a private training center in Chennai in 2010, Priyadarshini, a fellow trainee girl, fell in love with him and the two recognized their love at home.
Varunkumar selected for IPS service
Both were training for the civil exam, in which case the two were said to have been engaged to be married with the consent of the family. While the two were training in Delhi, Varunkumar was selected as Priyadarshini was not ready for the exam. He then completed all the exams and passed the IPS job.
The heart that changed after the IPS exam, complained of asking for dowry
It is learned that after this, Varunkumar’s parents asked him to give 2 kg of gold, 50 lakh rupees in cash and a luxury car as a dowry, citing IPS selection. He is said to have said that the marriage would not have taken place if the dowry had not been paid.
Destruction of proof of emails
In the meantime there have been several days of heated discussion by email between the two of them causing trouble. Varun Kumar has illegally hacked Priyadarshini’s email to inform her that he has cheated on her and destroyed the conversations and sources between the two.
Priyadarshini is suing the High Court seeking action
Priyadarshini sought a dowry from the Chennai police commissioner’s office to take action against Varunkumar in this case and later lodged a complaint alleging intimidation. Following the Priyadarshini case, the Chennai High Court quashed all the charges against her and dismissed the chargesheet.
High Court denial, appeals to the Supreme Court
Priyadarshini appealed to the Supreme Court against this. The petition has been pending for more than three years and a bench headed by Supreme Court Judge Abdul Naseer, which heard the case last month, had issued notices to respond, including to the Tamil Nadu government and police officer Varunkumar.
Supreme Court took up the case – Government of Tamil Nadu reply petition
The Government of Tamil Nadu has filed a reply to this petition. According to the petition filed by the Tamil Nadu government, “23 witnesses, including the parents of the woman who lodged the complaint and common friends of the two, were questioned and their confessions were recorded.”
It is true that the evidence was destroyed – the Tamil Nadu government replied
At the same time, we had pointed out in the chargesheet filed by the Tamil Nadu Police against Varunkumar that he had committed crimes including destroying the evidence in the computer illegally, especially when he was asked to submit the used cell phones for investigation, as it would become evidence against him.
So it’s not. He has already been convicted under Section 66 and IPC 204. We are still confirming it, ”the Tamil Nadu government said in its reply petition.
The Supreme Court can decide – Government answer
Further, the Government of Tamil Nadu has said that there is nothing new to be mentioned beyond the details filed in the chargesheet and therefore the Supreme Court should issue an appropriate order in this matter.
In this case IPS officer Varunkumar has to file his reply petition. The Supreme Court will then hear the case and issue an order.
