Kesari Verma was a 28-year-old police constable working at Lalganj police station.
She hurt her head in a scooter accident on August 22.
After receiving treatment, she returned to her police station.
She wanted leave so she could continue medical treatment.
Her husband said two constables did not send her leave request to a senior officer.
