Dismissed Sub-Inspector acquitted of Rape charge

                Accusations of any kind have a negative effect on the accused; some may even lose their job over slurs. Police officers don’t have the best reputation but it doesn’t mean that all police officers are a disgrace. Peer pressure affects everyone; society definitely moulds a person’s personality. In every aspect of every level of society there are people who refuse to merge with corruption and want change in the country for the better and not for the worse.

                Sub-Inspector Naveem Phogat was acquitted after the 25 year old Model alleged that on June 12, 2018, SI Phogat was accompanying her for completing documentation and offered to drop her off at her hotel in the evening. SI Phogat asked to use her washroom, entered her room and threatened to circulate objectionable pictures and videos of her on social media. Allegedly, that is when he raped her. Phogat’s counsel argued that he was being framed by three senior officers who took a bribe to benefit persons out of a Bitcoin matter they were accused in.

Legal Stand Point:

                If the Sub-Inspector was acquitted due to lack of evidence then the Sub-Inspector should be entitled to counter sue the model; forcing her to come clean to see if the three senior officials colluded with her to falsely implicate SI Naveen Phogat. If the acquittal happened because it was found that the model had consented, it still did not give her to file a rape case. Either way, the fraud case the model has filed will become tainted her credibility was staked in the false rape allegations; on a police officer who was helping her nonetheless.
