According to the victim’s complaint, the accused got in touch with her via Facebook Messenger, introduced himself as an IPS officer, and inquired if she wanted to join the police department. However, she informed him to help in the police recruitment of her sister’s son who is preparing for the selection process. The accused then sought her mobile number offering help. Later, the officer allegedly started demanding sexual favours by sending her messages, making video calls and even making a nude video call much to the chagrin of the victim.
