Bengaluru: Rape complaint lodged against police Inspector

BENGALURU: A 36-year-old woman has filed a rape complaint against D.J. Halli Police Inspector H.B. Sunil on Wednesday with Karnataka DGP and IGP M.A. Saleem, seeking legal action against him. The woman, belonging to a minority community, has alleged that Inspector Sunil committed the crime after promising to marry her.

The complainant has also stated that the accused has been issuing life threats and blackmailing her with private videos.

Speaking to the media, the victim said, “I had gone to the D.J. Halli police station in Bengaluru one-and-a-half years ago. Inspector Sunil attended to my complaint and assured me that I would get my money back soon. He also informed Assistant Sub-Inspector Prakash about the case. I could not get along with officer Prakash, so I requested the Inspector to assign another officer. The accused agreed, and later we became close.”
