On June 26, a 17 year old girl filed an FIR against the accused police officer stating the inspector had sexually assaulted her and took obscene photographs of her while she was inside the lockup at Ghograpar PS in Nalbari, Assam.

“I was forced to remove my clothes by the SI, but, I denied. He then threatened me and hence I got scared and removed my clothes. SI has clicked my naked picture and had tried to harass me with his obscene gesture. In the morning, I had informed about the incident to a woman police official, but she asked me to keep quiet,” said the girl in her complaint letter.

Reportedly, the victim and her lover eloped on June 21, however, they were caught by the police and were brought to Ghagrapar PS where the incident took place.
