A shocking incident came to light from Haryana, where a Dalit youth has accused Hansi sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) of sexual assault.
The victim has alleged that 6 months ago, the HCS officer called him for a body massage at his house where he forced him for a massage in his private part. He has also shared a video of the alleged sexual assault.
In his complaint, the victim said the SDM Kulbhushan Bansal used to pay him Rs 200 a day for massage services while he was posted in Fatehabad in 2020.
“Six months ago, he called me for massage services. After massage, he said that my private part is itching. He asked me to scratch it. When I refused, he threatened to get me sacked from my job. After that, he started assaulting me,” the victim said.
The accused had hired the complainant as a sweeper in the public health department.
After the video went viral, the government suspended the SDM and a case was registered. After this, the SDM has now been arrested.
“The HCS officer was suspended on Thursday. He has been arrested from Hansi on Saturday,” said a police spokesperson.
The accused has been booked under Sections 377 (unnatural offences) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC and sections of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes Act.
