"An FIR on charges of rape was on Tuesday evening registered against former deputy SP Navneet Nayak based on a complaint of a woman, who alleged that in 2019, during his posting at circle officer, he raped her after promising to marry her," Additional Superintendent of Police Surendra Dwivedi said here.
The officer was posted in Shahjahanpur when he was suspended from duty after the charges levelled against him by the woman were found to be true, the police said.
The FIR was registered on charges of rape and other relevant sections of the IPC, Dwivedi said, adding that the report was lodged on directions of the government.
The woman's statement will now be recorded before a magistrate, the police said, adding that a detailed probe is underway.
