The Bhopal Police have registered a rape case against one of its own constable for allegedly raping his colleague after getting her drugged.

The accused constable, identified as Anand Gautam, is posted in Vidisha district. He was posted at the Nazeerabad police station on the outskirts of Bhopal when the incident occurred around five months back.

According to TT Nagar police in Bhopal, the victim constable has alleged that Gautam took her to a hotel in the Jawahar Chowk as she wanted to visit a wash room and offered her a drink laced with sedatives.

"The incident happened on June 15 when I was waiting for my sister after work. I was not feeling well and wanted to visit a washroom when he offered me a lift on his bike. He then took me to a hotel where I was drugged and raped," the victim constable said in her complaint.

The victim has also alleged that the accused started stalking her after the incident and threatened to defame her by leaking videos which he claimed he had recorded discreetly.

The victim has also alleged that the accused even threatened to disfigure her face with acid if she refused to give in to his physical demands.

A rape case has been registered against Gautam but he has not been arrested so far.

In another similar incident, the Bhopal police arrested a 19-year-old boy who allegedly tried to kidnap and molest a 16-year-old girl last week.

The victim, a class 8th student, according to the police had tried to commit suicide by consuming a poisonous substance after the accused identified as Vicky threatened to defame her on social media.

Timely intervention by family members of the victim helped save the girl's life as she was rushed to hospital where she was unconscious for almost a week.

The victim's statement was recorded after she regained consciousness on Thursday after which a kidnapping and molestation case was registered and the accused arrested.
