Mumbai:
A senior IPS officer in Mumbai has been booked for rape on the complaint of a model.
The officer, Sunil Paraskar, has been accused of assaulting the woman when he was Additional Commissioner of Police last year.
He is currently Deputy Inspector General, Protection of Civil Rights Unit at the police headquarters.
In a complaint filed last night at the Malvani Police station in the northern part of the city, the model has alleged that Mr Paraskar raped her several times, including once at a hotel.
Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria has reportedly ordered an inquiry.
The police have filed an FIR or First Information Report but sources say they are treading cautiously as a senior officer has been named.
What's also embarrassing for the police is that the accused officer was in charge of the area where the complaint has been filed against him.
The case will be investigated by the women's wing of the Mumbai Police Crime Branch. NDTV tried contacting Mr. Paraskar but he was not available for comment.
