KALESHWARAM: A sub-inspector was arrested by the police on the charges of sexually assaulting a female police head constable at gunpoint.
The sub-inspector, Bhavani Sen, was arrested by the Kaleshwaram police on the charges of raping the female constable multiple times in Kaleshwaram of Mahadevpur mandal in Jayashankar Bhupalpally district. He sexually assaulted the female constable at gunpoint to conduct the heinous crime repeatedly inside the old police station building near the Laxmi pump house of the Kaleshwaram project. He warned the head constable of dire consequences if she told anyone about his heinous acts. The victim was reportedly living in fear and was even contemplating suicide due to the increased harassment by the sub-inspector. However, she lodged a complaint with the District Superintendant of Police, who ordered a probe leading to the arrest of the sub-inspector.
The investigation conducted by DSP Kaleshwaram revealed that the sub-inspector had threatened at least three other female police constables and sexually assaulted them.
Following a preliminary enquiry based on the complaint, the Kaleshwaram police arrested Bhavani Sen late Tuesday night. He was then taken to Bhupalpally police station for interrogation. The service revolver from the accused has been seized. Further investigations are ongoing.
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy took serious note of the incident and ordered the dismissal of the sub-inspector from service under Article 311 of the Constitution.
