48-year-old cop arrested for attempting to rape six-year-old girl
A 48-year-old police constable was arrested on Saturday for attempting to rape a six-year-old girl inside a police outpost in Greater Noida, officials said. The accused was said to be in uniform and heavily inebriated when he tried to assault the girl. The incident took place inside the Kulesara police chowki on Saturday morning. Greater Noida’s rural superintendent of police Suniti, who uses only her first name, said the accused has been terminated from service with “immediate effect” and “booked under non-bailable charges”, including sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. “At 7 am, my daughter dressed in uniform was ready to go to her school…As she was buying the commodities, the constable who was sitting outside the police chowki called her towards him and took her inside the chowki where he undressed her and did wrong things with her,” the father said. The girl resisted and managed to flee. “This constable kept chasing my daughter and reached our house. He was so drunk that he kept standing outside my house for 10 minutes waiting for my daughter to come out. When finally, she saw me sitting in my auto nearby, she ran towards me and narrated the incident. As I tried to apprehend the police man, he ran away from the spot,” the father added. -PTC News
