Cop booked for raping woman in Amritsar

A police sub-inspector, formerly deployed in Punjab chief minister's security, has been booked for allegedly raping a woman on gun point, forcefully aborting her pregnancy and marrying her, projecting himself as a bachelor.

The police official was booked at the intervention of the state DGP after he was approached by the victim with a request that criminal proceedings be initiated against him.

The woman alleged in her FIR that sub-inspector Mangal Singh, who was part of the CM's security at the time of committing the crime, raped her time and again on gun point, making her pregnant.

The accused aborted her pregnancy assuring her that he would marry her and described himself as a bachelor.

When the marriage was solemnised, his previous marriage came to light.

The sub-inspector, who was removed from CM's security about two months back when the victim first drew the DGP's attention to her case, will soon be arrested as a police party has been dispatched to nab him, SHO police station D-division Puneet Singh said.
