Bhopal, March 13 (IANS) A policeman
was dismissed from service Tuesday after he was caught on video
raping a woman in a slum area in Jabalpur district of Madhya
Pradesh.
The police, who were earlier refusing to entertain a rape
complaint against the policeman, were forced to register an FIR
when shown the video clip taken on a mobile camera.
Pradeep Singh, an inspector posted in Seoni district, had come to
Jabalpur to visit a court. Later, he went to a slum area and
entered a hut.
When he forced himself on a woman, she cried and people gathered
there. The inspector was literally caught on camera with his pants
down.
Police at first refused to accept her complaint.
But soon a person came with the video clip and the police had to
register a FIR against the inspector.
However, Jabalpur police did not lodge the case under section 376
(rape) as demanded by the woman and others, but 305 (harassment)
of the Indian Penal Code.
"It is a serious issue of moral conduct, so after talking to
director general of police, we have dismissed him from service,"
Inspector General of Police V. Madhukumar told IANS.
