Jalaun(UP), Dec 08: A day after Kuthaund Station House Officer, Arun Kumar Rai in Jalaun district was found dead under mysterious circumstances, police registered an FIR against a police constable, Meenakshi Sharma posted with Dial 112 in Konch.
The case was filed based on a complaint by the deceased’s family alleging murder. Rai was found dead with a gunshot wound at his official residence late Friday night.
It added that the first call to the police station came from Meenakshi Sharma, who was present at the scene. She reportedly told the staff that the SHO had shot himself. However, CCTV footage from a nearby mall, widely circulated on social media, raised questions about her account.
The video shows her leaving the officer’s quarters shortly after the incident and walking hurriedly towards the highway through a rear exit, carrying a bag. Her late-night presence at the SHO’s residence and her movements after the incident have drawn scrutiny.
The woman constable’s role is being investigated, SSP said.
More reports awaited.
