The Mumbai Police has booked a constable on Wednesday for allegedly raping a woman after promising her marriage. The constable has been identified as Nitin Pawar, currently posted at Mulund police station, while the victim is with the Home Guard.

According to the police, they first met on December 31, 2016 when she was deployed on bandobast duty in Mulund. After finishing her work around 1 am, she was walking towards her home in Thane. Pawar, who stays in Kalyan, offered to drop her, saying the place was on his way. At first, she refused, but after he said that he too, is a cop, she agreed.
