Bengaluru, Sep 6
A police constable in Bengaluru has been arrested on charges of sexually exploiting a female advocate after promising to marry her, an official said on Saturday. The accused is identified as Siddu a.k.a. Sidde Gowda Halagali, a police constable with the Special Action Force (SAF).
She initially resisted, citing their different caste backgrounds and the potential for familial opposition. The accused, however, promised he would convince his family and would marry her regardless.
The police have initiated a further investigation into the matter.
In January 3, a 58-year-old Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) was arrested and suspended after a video , which allegedly showed him sexually harassing a woman who approached him with a complaint, went viral on social media.
