THE Marikina City chief of police and a substation commander have been relieved from duty in connection with the alleged involvement of two police officers in a molestation case.

Eastern Police District director BGen. Aden Lagradante said an investigation will be conducted to determine if Col. Geofrey Fernandez and Community Precinct Substation Commander LtCol. Victoriano De Castro were remiss in their duties.

Two Marikina police officers, a patrolman and a staff sergeant, are now under restrictive custody and are facing a criminal complaint over an alleged molestation incident involving a colleague while on duty.

The two officers are facing charges of for violation of RA 8353 for Sexual Assault and Acts of Lasciviousness filed last Aug. 27.

Lagradante said that the two suspects asked the victim out for coffee but instead of going to a coffee shop, they drove the patrol car somewhere and sexually assaulted their colleague.
