#MeToo: Army officer's wife accuses Brigadier of harassment

NEW DELHI: "I will make you rewrite the definition of hell and heaven," these were the words of Roshini Ajit Kumar for Brigadier Jai Singh who has been accused of harassment and defamation by way of her, in line with a file in The Quint.
(Update: The Facebook publish on which this article is based totally is not to be had.)

Kumar accused Brigadier Singh, who could also be allegedly going through a Court of Inquiry in a corruption-related topic, of harassment and defamation. She also claimed that despite drawing near several Army departments and organisations her grievance was once disregarded.

Kumar has alleged that Singh has centered different women as neatly by way of in the hunt for “favours” from them. However, she has kept away from tagging their names, instead, proposed that they will have to come forward of their own accord.

Singh was once the ex-Station Commander, Delhi Area until 2017 and at the moment posted as Dy GOC of Jaipur Sub Area.

Kumar's husband is posted in Nagaland and he or she has a daughter who was once showing for her 12th standard Board Exam. The family was once looking for an accommodation near Pratap Chowk as it will make it more straightforward for their daughter to travel to her school and the training centre.

Singh, who was once neatly conscious about the needs of the family, "bumped into" Kumar all through one in all her morning walks.

"...come over for any help and I will always be there for you irrespective of the day and time," he advised her.

Singh as soon as once more met Kumar all through these morning walks.

According to Kumar, Singh said that he "desired" to be along with her and that he could make life simple.....further including "Believe me, I can make life hell or heaven for anyone here".

"I responded that if he ever stops me once again he will have to rewrite the definition of hell and heaven... And I left," she wrote.

The answer seems to have antagonised Singh who, claimed Kumar, answered by way of dispensing a seventh-floor flat in a different locality from the one being sought by way of the family. Singh allocated the flat despite being aware that she is undergoing physiotherapy sessions for her in poor health back, she wrote.

The new flat came with new-set of problems. Her top-floor neighbours used to feed stray dogs, birds and monkeys. As a consequence, it turned into difficult for Kumar and her daughter to project out of the house as it was once constantly surrounded by way of monkeys and stray dogs. She as soon as once more raised an objection.

Following which, she was once called by way of Col APS Negi (Ex Adm Comdt) — an officer reporting to Singh.

"I was called and in presence of my upper house lady, her 16-year-old son and another officer Col Sohi, I was humiliated, cornered and threatened. He said if another time I write any complaint letter it will be torn and throw into the dustbin. Also, it will be seen that I am shifted out of this area with immediate notice," she wrote.

This was once adopted by way of a series of grievance to Singh, GOC Delhi Area, president Awwa, previous chief, DCW Swati Maliwal and NHRC. All of them, Kumar writes, "remained silent".



However, Singh answered to this sort of complaints by way of sending a showcase realize declaring we've got Rs 2.70 lakh against overstay at a visitor house. He also wrote a letter announcing that the woman (Kumar) is mentally unwell and undergoing a remedy in R&R and therefore, her grievance will have to no longer be taken severely.


Kumar has also written a letter to the Chief of Army Staff. However, even after a 12 months and two months, Kumar is yet to get a reaction to her letter.


Kumar also speculates that since Singh’s retirement date is October 31, 2018, therefore, everybody is trying to play it secure”.
