The Delhi Police has filed the final chargesheet against an IPS officer of West Bengal cadre, over a year after a woman who he befriended on Facebook accused him of raping her, sources said on Sunday.

The Delhi-based woman had in 2018 accused the officer of raping her after promising to marry her.

The chargesheet was filed earlier this month, the sources said.

The woman had approached the police with her complaint in May last and a case was registered at the Barakhamba police station. It was later transferred to the Crime Branch.
