Odisha cop arrested for raping, cheating fellow officer

According to the complaint, their relationship grew stronger in 2018 while she was posted at Kendrapara Town Police Station, and he allegedly promised to marry her.
They later lived together during her postings in Ganjam, Gajapati, and Bhubaneswar.
