A sub-inspector of the Elamakkara police station in Kerala was suspended on Sunday, May 10, 2026, after being booked in two separate cases involving allegations of sexual harassment, intimidation, and attempted extortion by misusing a narcotics investigation. The accused, identified as Mujeeb H., was absconding after cases were registered against him.
The alleged incidents took place in 2025, with the officer allegedly obtaining a woman’s phone number from the call list of an accused in a narcotics case and misusing it to make sexual advances, threatening to implicate her in the narcotics case when she rejected his demands.
The officer also allegedly extorted ₹1.5 lakh from a doctor by blackmailing him after obtaining his number from the call list of the accused in the drugs case.
The officer has been booked for outraging the modesty of a woman in the first case and charged with extortion and criminal intimidation in the second case. The police will continue to investigate the matter and attempt to apprehend the absconding sub-inspector, with further action to be taken based on the outcome of the investigation.
