In a letter to Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi dated November 12 and accessed by the media on Wednesday, Tharoor urged the Police Chief to take action against the concerned officer.
Tharoor said that four Delhi Police officers interrogated his domestic help Narayan Singh last month - for 16 hours November 7 and for 14 hours November 8.
On both days, Tharoor alleged that Narayan Singh was "repeatedly physically assaulted by one of your officers."Worse, that officer used the traumatic physical assault to try and intimidate Narayan into 'confessing' that he and I murdered my wife," the former central minister said.
Tharoor recalled that he expressed his concerns to Bassi over telephone Nov 8 night."As you graciously agreed, such conduct is completely unacceptable and illegal," Tharoor said in his letter. "It also amounts to the use of physical coercion in the attempt to frame an innocent man.
"I would request you to take immediate and appropriate action against such unlawful misconduct of the officer concerned."My staff and I have always made ourselves available for any kind of inquiry and investigation but the recent behaviour of the officers towards my staff is a matter of serious concern to any law abiding citizen.
