The woman posted as Naib Tehsildar, in her complaint, alleged that her colleague who is also a Naib Tehsildar forcibly entered her house on November 12 when she was alone, Additional SP Dipendra Nath Chowdhury said.
She alleged that the officer slapped her, threw her on the floor, and attempted to rape and strangle her, he said.
"When he saw me fainting, he went into the hall and I hid under the bed and later ran towards the door and closed it. I remained in the house for three days in fear and did not tell anybody. I took three days' leave and left for my parent's place and told them about the incident," the woman said in her complaint.
