The police constant and the home guard were booked after a 28 -year -old woman equalized the accusation of sexual assault and harassment against the duo.
In an interview with the media, she said on Wednesday that the police (Palamaner) Degala Prabhakar said the case was registered at the Bangaruple Police Station under several sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhit (BNS). The SP representative said both accused were identified as Umashankar, constantly at the Punganur Municipal Police Station, and Kiran, a home guard who previously worked at the Polish Station of Palamaner.
A woman complainant from the village of Gantavur claimed that the home guard Kiran took her mobile number three years ago and promised to help her in a family dispute because her husband allegedly left her and their children. Later he began to annoy her to undergo his desire.
The woman further complained that 22 April, the Police constable Umashankar made friends with her near Mogili Devarakonda, a hilly terrain near Bangarupalem when she reportedly got there to end her life. He allegedly drugged for the pretext that helped her, and sexually attacked her several times. The complainant also claimed that she threatened to kill her and her children if she revealed this episode.
The police officer said the Tushar Dudi Superintendent (SP) Tushar Dudi had ordered a thorough probe into the incident.
