A woman police officer was suspended for alleged dereliction of duty after she failed to act on a complaint of harassment by a 22-year-old woman who was killed by a man in Maharashtra's Pune city, an official said on Tuesday.

The victim Shweta Ranawade was stabbed to death on November 9 by her former boyfriend Pratik Dhamale after she ended their relationship. The accused was found hanging from a tree on the outskirts of Pune a couple of days after the murder, the official said.
