A police constable in Hyderabad was arrested on June 25 for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor girl. The incident, which occurred around two months ago, was reported by the girl's family on June 25.

Although the constable (33) is associated with the Ramgopalpet police station, the complaint was registered at the Bowenpally police station.

"The constable is the girl's maternal uncle by relation. The two families lived in the same locality. The girl would often visit his house," The News Minute quoted Bowenpally station house officer (SHO) Anjaiah as saying.

On observing suspicious behaviour of her daughter and the constable, the girl's mother questioned her and found out about the assault, Bowenpally police informed.

The arrested constable will be produced in court soon, according to a statement from North Zone Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP).

A case has been registered under section 376 (3) (punishment for rape) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code, as well as the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

"None is above law. We had to arrest a constable of Ramgopalpet police station for molesting a girl. He is being sent to jail. I feel ashamed that there are such black sheep in our department; do help us improve. Your feedback at 9490616555 will be our strength and guidance, " Hyderabad Commissioner of Police Anjani Kumar wrote on Twitter.
