JAIPUR: The ACB on Sunday arrested an ACP-rank officer posted with the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) for allegedly demanding sexual favours from a rape survivor. Kailash Bohra was arrested in a compromising position inside a room at the DCP (East) office here.
ACB DGP BL Soni said that the woman had approached the ACB a few days ago in which she narrated her plight. “She had lodged a case of rape at Jawahar Circle police station in the city against her male companion who had ditched, cheated and blackmailed her. The woman was going everywhere for the justice. The investigation was later handed over to Bohra,” Sonia said.
“The accused first demanded money from the woman with a promise that he will do a fair investigation. However, when the woman was not willing to pay the money, the accused asked her if he can have sex with her as a favour to help her,” Soni added.
Upset with the kind of request, the woman approached the senior officers of ACB on March 6. “We sent her for the verification with various gadgets so that his activities are recorded. Finally, she was sent to Bohra as we wanted to arrest him red-handed,” Soni added.
The accused asked the woman to come to a room at DCP (east) office which was almost vacant on Sunday. “Our team raided the room and found the accused in a compromising position. We also videographed and took picture of the crime scene as evidence. Now, he has become an accused of Section 7 of Prevention of Corruption Act that deals with punishment for public servant asking for any kind of financial or other gratification or favours,” Soni added.
