The enquiry committee will be headed by Jayashree Raghunandan, Additional Chief Secretary, Planning and Development Department.
According to the Government Order issued by S.K.Prabakar, Additional Chief Secretary, the enquiry committee shall take necessary further course of action as per the provisions of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 on the female IPS officers' complaint.
Leader of the Opposition in the Tamil Nadu Assembly and DMK President M.K.Stalin in a tweet questioned why Chief Minister K.Palaniswami is allegedly saving Das against whom a sexual harassment complaint has been filed.
