A 37-year-old gangrape survivor was allegedly asked for sexual favours by a sub-inspector at Rampur’s Ganj police station in UP in exchange for taking action against the accused.
According to a Times Of India report, the police official, Jai Prakash Singh, was given the charge to investigate the rape case that took place earlier this year. After the woman denied his offer, the inspector closed the case.
“Whenever I approached Jai Prakash Singh seeking arrest of the accused, he would say he first wanted to have sex with me. He even called up on my mobile phone and invited me to visit him in his room alone. When I turned him down, he filed a closure report in the case a fortnight ago,” the woman told TOI.

"We will investigate her charges thoroughly. The Ganj station officer has been asked to look into the matter against the SI and submit a report,” said superintendent of police Sudha Singh.
