The constable, Rahul Chauhan, said that although he was posted at the officer’s bungalow for duty, he was often made to take care of the officer’s child, dog, and household work.
He alleged that when the dog escaped, the officer blamed him and called him to the bungalow late at night.
There, he was thrashed with a belt and also subjected to caste based abuses.
Rahul further claimed that the next day, in front of his wife, the officer again assaulted him and insulted him with abusive words. He was also ordered to search for the missing dog and bring it back.
The tribal constable has now filed a complaint with the Superintendent of Police (SP), demanding strict action against the officer.
The incident has sparked anger, highlighting the issue of exploitation and mistreatment faced by lower-rank personnel.
As of now, senior officials have not given any formal statement on the matter.
