The officer is accused of abusive and degrading behaviour, particularly targeting accused in Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Sources claim that the senior officer arrives at the police station and calls the accused into a separate room, where the officer not only hurls abuse at the accused but also spits at their face.

The casual approach of Social welfare department of Zilla Parishad has created trouble for newly-wed couples who tied nuptial knot against the wishes of their family. The financial assistance of Rs 39 lakh instituted by the Central government for Inter-caste married couples is yet to be given to 78 couples collectively Rs 39 lakh for 2010 by Zilla Parishad.
As per the information Union government has sanctioned Rs 50,000 financial assistance for 208 married couples in District. But, administration has not yet distributed the cheques to eligible couples. Validity of 39 cheques collectively Rs 39 lakh has lapsed on September 30 as they were prepared at the very beginning of current fiscal.
To promote inter-caste marriages, the award money has been increased from Rs 15,000 to Rs 50,000. When ZP committee members confronted Social Welfare officer about this serious lapse, the official concerned gave evasive reply and claimed that budgetary provision was inadequate.
According to sources, many valid cheques are still pending with the department. Sources claimed that members of committee are trying to arrange a grand ceremony for distribution of cheques but, as the code of conduct for Gram Panchayat election came into force, the date for ceremony is yet to be fixed.
