While talking to the media later, the woman alleged that she fainted due to mental pressure of being harassed by one of her seniors. She alleged that the senior official was harassing her for the last 3-4 days. She said that on Saturday, he abused her again, which came to her as a shock and as a result, she fainted.

CISF Khajuraho area Commandant Jagdish Chandra,however, said the woman constable was prone to epileptic attacks and this might have led to her fainting. "She speaks incoherently when she gets an attack," he said. On her allegations of harassment, Chandra said that it was an internal matter of the force, however, he will get an inquiry conducted into it.
