City Police Commissioner K.C.Mahalee told PTI today that he has ordered suspension of inspector Jayam and sub-inspector Ramana of the all-women police station following an inquiry.

According to the Commissioner, the 13-year-old girl was allegedly raped by autodriver Elumalai late last month. When the girl's mother approached the all-women police station to lodge a complaint, the Inspector and the SI refused to register an FIR and demanded Rs 10,000.

After the woman informed higher police officials, the girl was sent for medical examination which confirmed she was raped. A case was registered three days after the incident on October 20 and the accused arrested.
