The Sadar police registered a case against a police constable on charges of betraying a girl after keeping physical relation with her and threatening to finish her.
Another girl, who reportedly is in a relationship with the constable, has allegedly also been threatening the victim girl of dire consequences. Sources said the victim who is a native of a village under Sadar police station in Sundargarh, had lodged a complaint recently.
In her FIR, she alleged that constable Mukesh Birganthia, presently posted at Lephripara police station of Sundargarh district, had come in contact with her in 2017. He had developed intimacy and kept physical relation, promising to marry her. The victim claimed that their relationship continued for about three years and in between, Mukesh had taken a good amount of money on different pleas from her.
But, he began distancing himself from her, when she insisted on their marriage. Repeated attempts by her to convince for marriage were not successful; rather he had started threatening to kill her, the victim alleged.
She also claimed that Mukesh also attempted to defame her by posting her photo in social media with some obscene remarks on her character.
Besides, another girl of Subdega area of Sundargarh district, who presently is in relationship with Mukesh, also had threatened her over phone and had advised to stay away from Mukesh. "The matter is under investigation," said Sundargarh SP Sagarika Nath.
