The victim further alleged that the accused often misbehaved with her relatives and would pick fights over trivial matters. In her complaint, she also expressed suspicion over the constable’s alleged relationship with another woman, which reportedly led to frequent disputes between the couple.
As per the complaint, on April 17, the woman had attended a relative’s wedding function at Bharatwada and stayed overnight at her mother’s house due to the late hour. The following day, the accused allegedly became enraged over the issue, assaulted her, and threatened to throw her out of the house.
The incident has sparked anger among local residents, many of whom questioned how citizens could expect justice if law enforcement personnel themselves are accused of crimes against women. Demands are now growing for the constable’s immediate suspension and a fair investigation into the matter.
Meanwhile, MIDC Police have registered a case against accused constable Nitesh Wahile and initiated further investigation.
