A Jagdalpur police sub-inspector has been found guilty of rape and bigamy, receiving sentences of ten and five years respectively, to be served consecutively for a total of 15 years. The victim reported that the officer met her on Facebook, representing himself as single/divorced. Following a period of cohabitation and a temple wedding, the victim discovered the truth about his existing marriage. The court's verdict highlights the severity of using false pretenses to obtain sexual consent, particularly by those in positions of authority.
