In a shocking incident, a senior police inspector has been accused of molesting the highly educated daughter of a police constable by luring her with financial assistance.
The accused, Dhananjay Saire, 56, from Dhamangaon, Amravati, allegedly entered the victim’s house in the Nandanvan area and committed obscene acts under the threat of a gun.
The 22-year-old victim is the daughter of a police constable who had a friendship with Saire, allowing him frequent access to their home.
Currently stationed as the head of the Khadan police station in Akola, Saire reportedly befriended the victim, giving her an iPhone and offering financial help to gain her trust.
Recently, Saire began sending inappropriate messages to the victim on WhatsApp, including a demand for nude photos. When the victim refused, Saire allegedly visited her home in Nandanvan on Saturday evening.
He demanded a physical relationship and, upon her refusal, pointed a gun at her and sexually harassed her. Saire also confiscated the iPhone he had given her and physically assaulted her.
The victim immediately reported the incident to the Nandanvan police station. Based on her complaint, a case of molestation has been registered against Saire. The police have launched an investigation into the matter.
