Pune: A woman constable from the Pune cyber police has been suspended following a suo motu inquiry by the city police over an information that she threatened and tried to extort an unspecified amount in the form of cryptocurrencies from a Wakad-based electronic goods dealer, who also deals in digital currencies.
Additional commissioner of police (crime) Ramnath Pokale issued the suspension order on Wednesday night based on the inquiry conducted by deputy commissioner of police (cyber) Bhagyashri Navatake.
The TOI on Thursday contacted the suspended woman constable for her version, but she preferred against speaking on the issue. The complainant businessman, when contacted by TOI, also avoided making any comment and said that the Pimpri Chinchwad police were already investigating the matter.
The police said the dealer was involved in a financial dispute with another man from Pimpri Chinchwad and the latter is on friendly terms with the constable.
Nearly three months back, the man asked the constable to intervene and settle the dispute for him after which the constable had called the dealer for a meeting at Wakad. This was despite the constable having no locus standi in the matter and the Wakad police were already examining the dispute.
The police said that during the meeting, the constable threatened the dealer with implicating him in a cheating case and asked him to make a transfer of cryptocurrencies in her favour if he wanted to avoid such a case and subsequent arrest.
