Karnataka Police on Monday lodged an FIR against a retired IAS officer for allegedly raping a woman in Bengaluru. The FIR has been lodged following the complaint by the 28-year-old woman at the Tilaknagar police station. The police have taken up the investigation against Ramachandra, a retired bureaucrat, sources stated.
The victim belonging to a minority community said in the complaint that the accused had laced drinks with drugs and raped her. The woman had claimed that she was now in her eighth month of pregnancy.
She had further charged that though she had complained, no action was taken against her since the accused is an influential person. Further investigation is on.

Earlier in November, the case came to light when Senior Kerala Government pleader P. G. Manu resigned after a woman lodged a police complaint accusing him of outraging her modesty. As per the complaint, Manu raped the woman after calling her on the pretext of discussing a case.
The Advocate General had sent a word to the top government pleader after a case was registered and Manu put in his resignation. Manu has been the counsel for the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
He had assaulted her last month when the complainant — already a rape victim in a 2018 case — approached him for speedy redressal. Manu reportedly violated her and subjected her to tremendous duress.
