In a shameful revelation, a constable, posted as an operator at local CIA staff, allegedly raped a 22-year old nursing student on Saturday evening.

A case has been registered against Naval Kishore, a police constable, on the complaint of the girl's friend.

No arrest has been made as police were waiting for the victim to reach Ferozepur as she had left for Amritsar, her hometown, after the incident, which took place late on Saturday evening.

However, the accused is now on the run.

In his complaint to police, Arick, a nursing student of Frances Newton Mission Hospital, stated that on Saturday evening, he, along with his friend, also a nursing student, were sitting at a park in Ferozepur Cantonment area, when Naval Kishore appeared on the scene and charged them with indecent behaviour at a public place.

As the couple resisted his move, the cop reportedly slapped the boy and asked him to arrange for bribe if they do not want to get involved in a police case. Frightened, the boy left the venue to get some help, while the cop took the girl to a house and raped her.

On his return, Arick saw that the girl was dumped outside the nursing school.

The victim narrated the incident to Arick, who reported the matter to hospital authorities. Wary of the image of the girl or the hospital getting tarnished, they reportedly sent the victim back to her house in Amritsar.

The matter came to light on Sunday when some members of the Christian community met senior police officials in presence of local SAD MLA and lodged a complaint against the accused cop in Ferozepur Cantonment police station.

Ferozepur SSP Varinderpal Singh said that police swung into action on getting the complaint and contacted the girl's family in Amritsar. "On our persuasion, the victim girl is being brought to Ferozepur where a medical examination of the girl would be conducted. Once the medical examination confirms rape, action would be initiated against the accused," he added.

This shameful behavior of the constable stirs ones faith in the police force. The police is a body that safeguards and protects people from crimes, forgery and rape. If individuals in the police indulge into such heinous activities, a serious question of where does an Indian citizen go in the hour of help needs to be raised.
