A police sub-inspector (SI) posted at Birsanagar police station is likely to get arrested on charges of establishing sexual relationship with a married woman, convincing her to file a divorce and then getting married to another woman in his native village in Bihar.
The SI, identified as Ravi Ranjan Kumar, not only exploited the woman but forced her to file a divorce petition before he himself solemnized his marriage at his native place in Samastipur district of Bihar recently.
The victim who is a resident of Bankati village in Baharagora had on July 8 lodged an FIR with the Mahila Police station in Sakchi, leading the police to register a case against the SI.
Deputy superintendent of police (Composite Control Room) Animesh Gupta who investigated the case on Sunday found it to be true.
" We were probing the allegation that a 23-year-old married woman had made against the SI, Ravi Ranjan Kumar was found to be true. Now the investigating officer of the case will have to arrest the accused, " said Gupta.
According to the DSP, the accused SI when posted in Baharagora police station in 2020 had befriended the woman through social media.
" During investigation we found that after trapping her, Kumar (29) had developed physical relations with the woman and stayed with her in a residential apartment near the Baharagora police station. During this period, he had also forced the woman who is mother of a four-year-old son to give divorce to her husband. As the SI had promised to marry her, she filed a divorce petition with the court. But in the first week of July they went over to Samastipur and married another girl there, " Gupta narrated.
He said the woman lodged the FIR against the SI when she came to know about his marriage. The SI is on a 15 days leave from the Birsanagar police station from July 2.
