Mumbai: Arun Borude, a senior Police Inspector in Mumbai with a record 50 encounter killings to his credit, is now being probed for allegedly raping a minor.
"The girl was pregnant. A police officer's name has come up in the complaint," said Ram Rao Pawar, Additional Commissioner of Police, Mumbai.
The victim, a 15-year-old girl, says she was forced into prostitution early this year.
In June, when she discovered she was pregnant fourth months had gone by and abortion was not possible.
Late October she delivered a premature baby and then filed a police complaint. In it, she accused pimp Shantabai Gaikwad who is now under arrest.
As the investigation progressed Borude's name came up this week. The girl reportedly had two regular clients and Borude was one of them.
The police have intercepted call records that show Borude and the pimp called each other regularly.
"Arun Borude's name is not in the FIR. Investigations are on, and action will be taken based on whatever facts emerge," said Ram Rao Pawar.
As the police high command ordered Borude to undergo a DNA test, Borude called in sick and has disappeared. Sources say a search on for the man who was once the hunter, and now most wanted.
