A court in Bihar's Kaimur district today rejected the bail plea of IPS officer Pushkar Anand in a case lodged against him for sexually exploiting a subordinate woman police officer by promising to marry her.
Additional District Judge (ADJ) I Dudhnath Singh passed the order rejecting Anand's bail plea paving the way for his possible arrest in the case filed by a woman police officer of the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in 2014.
The IPS officer was earlier granted anticipatory bail in the case till April 29 by District and Sessions Judge Arun Kumar who had directed the police not to arrest Anand till that date before seeking diary of that case.
The IPS officer of 2009 batch had prayed for bail in the case on the ground that the charge sheet had not been filed.
Police had issued an order for Anand's arrest on April 8 as charges of sexual exploitation levelled against him by the police woman was prima facie found to be correct by a high- level probe team set up by the police headquarters.
Anand was posted as SP in Kaimur when he had allegedly sexually exploited her. The woman officer too was posted in the same district.
