Subramanian served as the Superintendent of Police in Karaikal, one of the regions of Puducherry. Subramanian, who was an SP by promotion, worked in Karaikal.
At that time, `SP Subramanian sexually harassed his daughter, who works as a constable in the Puducherry Police.
Because of that, my daughter attempted suicide. Action should be taken against SP Subramanian, who was responsible for it,’ the mother of a woman police constable filed a complaint at the Karaikal Town Police Station.
Following that complaint, a Vishaka Committee was formed. But after that, there was no progress in the case.

At the same time, S.P. Subramanian was also transferred to Puducherry. Following that, the mother of the woman police officer filed a petition in the Chennai High Court, stating that no action had been taken by the police on the complaint she had submitted.
After hearing the petition, the court had ordered in June that the sexual harassment complaint against the SP be investigated expeditiously and a report be filed within four weeks.
Even after that, since the Puducherry police did not carry out any investigation, the female constable’s mother filed a petition again in the Madras High Court. Hearing it, Madras High Court Judge Lakshminarayanan said, “What action has been taken so far in this case?
Wake up from your Kumbhakarna sleep. Are you trying to protect the culprits?” He strongly criticized the Puducherry government and the police, and had sternly ordered, “If action is not taken immediately based on the Vishaka Committee report, the Chief Secretary will have to appear in person.” Following that, the Puducherry police headquarters suspended SP Subramanian.
Following that, the case came up again for hearing in the Madras High Court on the 27th of last month. At that time, the lawyer appearing on behalf of the Puducherry government said that S.P. Subramanian had been suspended and that an explanation had also been sought regarding the female police officer’s allegations.
At that time, the lawyer appearing on behalf of the complainant, the female police officer, said that a case had still not been registered against S.P. Subramanian.

Following that, the judge, who asked, “Will a case be registered against SP Subramanian, who sexually harassed a woman police officer… or not? If a case cannot be registered, say so directly,” had ordered that the Puducherry DGP and the Senior SP submit a report on the action taken in this case by September 30.
Accordingly, with this case scheduled to come up for hearing tomorrow, the Puducherry government has given the green light to file an FIR against the SP, fearing it would otherwise come under the court’s criticism.
Following that, a sexual assault case has been registered today against S.P. Subramanian at the Karaikal Town Police Station. The registration of a sexual assault case against someone who had served as an SP in the law and order wing of the Puducherry Police has caused a stir.
