Nagpur: A 30-year-old woman constable has lodged a report of rape against a male colleague for having sexually exploiting her for a year luring with a promise of marriage. The cops, both posted at police headquarters’ subsidy canteen, learnt to have got introduced to each other while working as computer operators at the unit at Takli.
In February last year, the survivor has claimed to have been forced to have physical relation by constable Pawan Singh Thakur, 27, accused in the case, at his residence at Godhni Road. She has claimed in her statement before Mankapur police, who have now registered the offence of rape, that Thakur had forced her to consume liquor before forcing into physical relationship. He had taken her home on the pretext of showing the place. Thakur is yet to be arrested.
Police said the survivor had developed a friendly relation with Thakur while working at the police headquarter-based canteen. As the relation developed, Thakur had started visiting her residence too. He also informed her family members about his intention to marry her.
The two had also enrolled their names for marriage registration in April this year. The marriage was to be formalized in May but he did not turn up and also started to avoid her. The survivor also came to know that Thakur was having relation with another woman which prompted her to lodge a police complaint.
