On Sunday, an Indian Air Force officer was arrested in Coimbatore for reportedly rapping a colleague. According to police officials, the alleged sexual assault occurred ten days ago.
Deepak Damon, a senior police official, verified that he was detained by police yesterday and placed in judicial detention for two days.
The officer then indicated that she had submitted a complaint to higher-ups, but that nothing had been done about it. She went to the Coimbatore City Police Commissioner, and the Gandhipuram All Women Police initiated an investigation, which resulted in the accused Lieutenant being detained.
Meanwhile, on Sunday morning, the suspect was brought before a magistrate and sentenced to a day in the Udumalaipet sub-jail. Whereas the police asked time to write a counter-affidavit, the suspect's lawyer filed an affidavit claiming that Coimbatore Police cannot arrest an Air Force official.
