The State Crime Branch (CB) police on Wednesday arrested Police Inspector Ajit Kumar Swain, who was on the run since he was wanted by the Crime Branch for his alleged sexual exploitation of a lady Police Inspector for 13 years.
Crime Branch ADG BK Sharma told reporters here that Swain was arrested from Bhubaneswar. The JFMC Court, Soro, on June 20 had issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against Swain after the investigating officer of the CB submitted the case diary in the court.
The lady officer has alleged that she has been sexually exploited over the last 13 years by Swain. She has also alleged that the higher authorities in the department had taken no action in after she drew their attention to her plight.
She had said in her petition that on August 10, 2001, Swain laid a trap and raped her after inviting her to his official quarters. Swain had allegedly videotaped the entire act through a hidden camera, she alleged. later, after mediation and compromise efforts by a senior police officer, Swain had promised to marry her, adding that Swain never kept his promise and married someone else. Instead, he blackmailed her by showing her a CD of the rape act and continued to exploit her sexually, she alleged.
