Junmoni Rabha, an Assam lady cop who had previously caught her fiance in a fraud case, was arrested on Saturday for alleged corruption accusations.
Police arrested her in connection with a case in which her fiance was charged with “criminal conspiracy” and “cheating.”
Last month, Rabha had arrested her fiance Rana Pogag in Nagaon district on fraud accusations.
Two contractors, Ram Abatra Sharma and Ajit Bora, have filed two separate FIRs against Rabha’s fiancee, Pogag, alleging substantial financial transactions between them.
They claimed that Rabha was the one who introduced them to Pogag, and that it was because of her that they provided Pogag the money in exchange for ONGC contract work.
During the alleged scam, Rabha was posted in Majuli.
At least seven FIRs alleging corruption have been filed against the officer at a police station in Majuli district, according to reports. Three of the charges are non-bailable.
Moreover, a telephonic conversation that went viral on social media has sparked speculation about her likely role in Pogag’s crimes.
Rabha was interrogated by police on Friday after her name was discovered in the FIRs.
Police will present Rabha before court to seek guidance on the next steps to take on Saturday.
