Policeman denied bail in rape case

MUMBAI: A sessions court has rejected the bail application of a policeman in a rape case where he is booked for forcing himself on his partner and also trying to compel her to undergo an abortion. While opposing his plea, the Pant Nagar police informed the court he is facing trial in a 2018 case of kidnapping and murder and a 2017 case of assaulting the Electricity department staff with a paver block when he was found stealing electricity to the tune of Rs. 11.36 lakhs. Additional Sessions Judge Sanjashree J. Gharat said in her order that DNA report is conclusive evidence to support the contention made by the complainant. It noted the allegations that initially they had consensual sexual relations and thereafter, he started forcing himself on her.
