A 17-year-old girl, who had accused the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Nishikant More of sexual harassment, has gone missing since Monday, 6 January, night, ANI quoted the family members as saying.

The girl's family claimed she has left behind a suicide note.

"My girl went to college on Monday. She said somebody met her there and took her number as well. When she came back from college, she directly went to sleep and had gone missing from the next morning," the father of the girl told ANI.

Further, the father said the girl was caught on CCTV camera leaving the house at around 11:30 pm voluntarily and alleged that the police are not taking action against the DIG as he is a high-level officer.

"We don't have any security. Anyone can hurt us," the father told ANI.

The father also urged the chief minister to take cognizance of the matter.

Absconding Maharashtra DIG Nishikant More, who has been accused of molesting a minor girl, was suspended by the state government on Thursday, 9 January.

The action against More, who was serving as Deputy Inspector General (Motor Vehicles), came two weeks after a case of molestation was registered against him by the Taloja police in adjoining Navi Mumbai.

According to the Navi Mumbai police police, the alleged molestation took place at the birthday party of the 17-year-old girl at her home in Taloja in June 2019.

However, the case against the IPS officer was registered only on 26 December.

According to the complaint registered by the girl's family, the police officer and the victim's fathers were friends.
