In a bizarre incident, a woman police inspector and a lady constable were charged with the kidnapping of a police inspector.
The incident was reported from Sultanpur where on the directives of the court, the woman police inspector and lady constable posted at Mahila Thana of Sultanpur district, were booked for allegedly kidnapping a police inspector who was accused of rape by another woman constable in July last.
Inspector Nishu Tomar, posted in Sultanpur, was suspended after a case was registered against him. He had gone to surrender before a local court in the district where he was arrested by Meera Kushwaha, the Station House Officer of Mahila Thana on September 22 last. He was, however, missing since then and Tomar's wife had approached the court seeking action in the matter.
Superintendent of Police of Sultanpur, Somen Barma, said that on the order of the chief judicial magistrate’s court, an FIR under the charges of kidnapping a person or keeping a person in detention and threatening to cause death (Section 364) along with criminal conspiracy (Section 120-B) of the Indian Penal Code had been lodged against Meera Kushwaha.
"We have formed five teams and efforts are on to trace Nishu," he said.
Tomar's wife Kusum Devi stated that an FIR of rape was registered against her husband by a woman constable in July.
"The probe was transferred to Mahila Thana SHO Meera Kushwaha. On September 22, in the same case, her husband had reached the local court to surrender," Devi said, alleging that the accused arrested him and his whereabouts were still unknown.
