A sub-inspector in Rajasthan's Alwar was arrested for allegedly raping a woman for three days after she went to a police station to lodge a complaint. An FIR in connection with the alleged crime was lodged on Sunday.
The woman has alleged that the sub-inspector, who is in his fifties and the second-officer in-command at the police station, raped her for three days between March 2 and March 4. The crime allegedly took place in a room where the accused lived, inside the compound of the police station in Alwar.
The police said that the woman had contacted the police officer on March 2 regarding a complaint against her husband. "Back in 2018, she had filed a case of dowry harassment against her husband which was later settled. But now according to her, the woman's husband wanted to give her divorce and she was not agreeing. The complainant had come to the police station and contacted the sub-inspector regarding lodging of a complaint in this matter," Alwar Superintendent of Police said on Monday.
"After we came to know about the incident, an FIR was lodged on Sunday under section 376 of the Indian Penal Code, and Singh was arrested. He is in police custody. A phone recording has also been presented by the woman, which has prima facie verified her accusations," said Alwar SP.
He said that the woman's statement will be recorded before a magistrate and further investigation was being conducted in the matter.
"The process of suspension and other disciplinary action against Singh has been initiated from the office of the inspector general. We are also in the process of taking action against the SHO. We are also considering sending to police lines all the staff at the police station who have been posted there for more than one year," Alwar SP said.
