The police are investigating a report that a female murder accused was allegedly impregnated by a policeman while in custody and the cop in question has since absconded.
A police release said that the prisoner made the allegation “under dubious circumstances and she has refused to give a written statement, but has said that she had the relationship with the policeman whenever she came down to attend court.” She also alleged that the rank gave her two tablets to drink and she lost the baby.
The police said that she has been medically examined by a Government Medical Officer who said that she had an incomplete abortion for which she is receiving medical attention.
The policeman whom she has named has since absconded.
