A constable here was placed under suspension today after he was accused of raping a woman from Borana village, police said. Ajit, the accused constable posted at Chechat police station, had allegedly raped the woman on Thursday. “The victim said that she was on her way to Kota in a passenger jeep when Ajit met her near Modak when the jeep stopped at a stand,” Circle Officer Praveen Jain said. Since she was familier with him, she accepted her offer to halt there for some time, Jain said, adding “the constable then took her to some isolated area and raped her.” He said in order to conduct a fair probe, the constable was suspended today.
