Deputy Collector Abhay Singh Kharadi, posted in Ujjain, was arrested on rape charges by Barwani Mahila Police from Bhopal on Thursday night.
A female employee had filed a rape case against him on April 29. He was absconding since the FIR was registered. Kharadi was posted in Barwani and he was transferred to Ujjain just a month ago due to the Lok Sabha elections.
He has been SDM in Barwani in 2016. During this time, he was accused of beating and raping the victim. The police were conducting raids in many districts to arrest the accused officer.
On Friday afternoon, the accused officer was brought from Bhopal to Barwani. The police presented him in the court and he was sent to Central Jail in judicial custody.
