In her complaint filed on Friday, the woman accused head constable Raj Kumar of “constantly” harassing her and trying to rape her the day before yesterday, police said.

“According to the complainant, Kumar forcefully entered her house in an inebriated condition and tried to rape her. Panicked, she called her husband who was not at home.

On reaching home, her husband made a PCR call. He also locked the house but Kumar managed to escape,” a senior police official said.

The complainant also alleged that Kumar used to call her at odd hours and was stalking her.

The accused was suspended and further investigation is underway, the official said.
