Woman cop found living with lover at quarantine centre

Nagpur: An extramarital affair surfaced at Regional Police Training School (RPTS) quarantine centre after the wife of a missing man approached Bajaj Nagar police station, recently.
The married man had allegedly been taken to the centre by a special branch woman constable who was asked to go in institutional quarantine along with other colleagues when a police officer tested Covid19 positive some days back.
DCP Zone II Vivek Masal told TOI that a departmental inquiry has been set up against the woman cop for indiscipline. “She had introduced the man as her husband to NMC health team who had come for contact tracing of the officer who tested positive,” he said.
Posing as husband and wife, they lived for over three days in the RPTS centre.
Masal said after it came to fore that both are not married to each other, the man was shifted to VNIT hostel quarantine centre while the woman constable continues to remain where she was.
The cop and the married man had been in a relationship, it is learnt.
Sources said it was not confirmed if the woman constable is married or has separated from her spouse.
The man is said to be working with the department of posts. His wife was unaware about him being admitted to the quarantine centre. She somehow came to know about the extramarital affair of her husband. She even visited the RPTS but was turned away by guards.
Later, she lodged a complaint with Bajaj Nagar police, and met Commissioner of Police Dr BK Upadhyay, who ordered an inquiry.
It is reliably learnt that the woman constable and the man know each other since October last year.
