A sub-inspector at the central crime station, Malkajgiri unit, in Rachakonda Police Commissionerate was booked for rape and cheating in Miryalaguda Town I police station of Nalgonda.

The case was registered on Thursday, and following an inquiry, the accused officer Vijay Dharavath was also placed under suspension by Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh M Bhagwat. The information was disclosed to media persons on Sunday.

According to Miryalaguda police, Mr. Vijay allegedly started a physical relationship with a woman in Miryalaguda since 2014 on the false promise of marrying her.

She approached the local police after things did not go in her favour and felt cheated.

Miryalaguda Town I police booked the officer under IPS S. 376 (2) n, 417 and 420. An investigation was opened.
