Rape case filed against IFS officer cancelled finding it false

This was the second case registered against an IFS officer in the past one week on charges of raping a domestic help, the other being the one filed against Ketan Shukla, a 1986-batch officer, by his servant who claimed that he sexually assaulted her in Kenya where he was posted.

In the latest case, police sources said the woman approached Parliament Street Police Station on November 29 claiming that a director-level officer of the 1991 batch allegedly raped her after serving her sweets laced with sedatives on November 2. She complained that she became unconscious after having the sweets and when she woke up, she realised that she was sexually assaulted.

Following this, a case of rape and administering stupefying drug with the intent to cause hurt was registered against the IFS officer. The woman was taken to a government hospital for medical examination but the tests did not confirm sexual assault, the sources said.
