    Lucknow: Sub-Inspector Suspended and FIR Lodged for Exploiting Woman Under Pretext of Marriage and Issuing Threats

    A grave incident tarnishing the image of the police force has come to light in Uttar Pradesh’s capital, Lucknow. A sub-inspector has faced severe disciplinary action following allegations of establishing physical relations under the false pretext of marriage, assaulting a young woman, and issuing death threats. Taking prompt cognizance of the matter, senior police authorities have suspended the accused officer with immediate effect and initiated proceedings for his arrest. An FIR under relevant sections has been registered based on the victim’s complaint, and an impartial investigation into the entire episode has been assigned to ACP Cantt.

    DCP Central Confirms Suspension of the Accused Sub-Inspector

    Providing details on the case, DCP Central Vikrant Veer stated that an FIR under serious penal sections has been registered against the accused police officer based on a written complaint submitted by the victim. Acting on the directives of senior officials, the accused sub-inspector has been placed under suspension with immediate effect. The DCP clarified that the comprehensive and impartial probe has been entrusted to ACP Cantt, and further stringent legal actions will follow based on concrete evidence gathered during the investigation.

    Origin of the Case and the Lucknow Connection

    According to information shared by the victim, she befriended a man belonging to Basti district about a year ago. It is alleged that the man established physical relations with her multiple times by promising marriage, only to renege on his promise later. A formal case regarding this initial matter was registered in February 2026 at the Chhaavni police station in Basti district. Procedurally, the investigation and case file were subsequently transferred to the Ashiyana police station in Lucknow.

    Serious Allegations Against the Ashiyana Police Station Sub-Inspector

    The victim alleged that on February 21, 2026, Sub-Inspector Dharmendra Shahi, posted at the Ashiyana police station, summoned her to the station under the pretext of recording her statement. She alleged that under the guise of offering assistance, the sub-inspector called her to a room near the Ashiyana police station and Qila crossing, where he repeatedly forced her into physical relations. Furthermore, the victim leveled serious accusations that the officer continuously threatened to circulate her private photos and videos on social media and ruin her life by implicating her in false cases. Additionally, on the night of July 30, when the victim stepped out of her house to fetch medicine for her mother, the accused police officer intercepted and physically assaulted her on the road. Police are currently conducting a thorough investigation incorporating all these allegations and technical evidence.
