Mumbai cop booked for spiking colleague's drink and raping her
November 18, 2018A sub-inspector from Navi Mumbai Crime Branch has been charged by the CBD Belapur police for allegedly raping a female constable after spiking her drink. The sub-inspector had also made a video of the act and was using it to blackmail the constable to sexually abuse her.
The victim, who is also posted with the Navi Mumbai Crime Branch, finally mustered the courage on Saturday to complain to her seniors about the offence against her. The case was then filed at the CBD Belapur police station and was handed over to a female officer.
The woman has stated that the sub-inspector sexually assaulted her several times in his car between March 2017 and November 2018. The Sub-inspector, who is a married man and resides in Vashi, is yet to be arrested. The police have stated that the accused and the complainant were batchmates and then started working together.
The sub-inspector has allegedly taken the constable in his car on the pretext of investigation in March 2017, then spiked her drinks and raped her. He had also made a video of the assault and used it to threaten her and force himself on her.
The accused was a constable earlier and had cleared a departmental exam to become a sub-inspector. The victim, who was still a constable, was afraid to speak up against the abuse as the sub-inspector had threatened her to make the video public. A police officer has stated that the sub-inspector used to take her to remote places and the alleged assault went on for 18 months.
The sub-inspector has been booked under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code including causing hurt by means of poison and rape committed by a police officer.
