The woman, a Delhi resident, narrated her tale of woes in a petition before Justice S P Garg, alleging that the 42-year- old "influential" police officer had threatened that not only she but her son would also be "killed" if she complained.
She moved the high court after a trial court in November 2014 refused to entertain her plea seeking registration of an FIR against officer Rajkumar for allegedly committing offences like causing grievous hurt, attempting to murder, wrongful restraint and confinement besides outraging her modesty.
The plea states that as a divorcee, the woman had gone to the Moti Nagar police station here on February 24, 2012, to lodge a complaint against the man with whom she had developed a live-in relationship after separation from her husband who used to beat her up.
With the police refusing to register an FIR on "flimsy" grounds, she visited the police station regularly where she met the then Station House Officer (SHO) Rajkumar who also allegedly kept dilly-dallying, her plea said.

While she rejected the proposal, the SHO continued to persist, the plea alleged and said she finally succumbed to his pressure and married him on June 7, 2012 at a small function. The officer also adopted the woman's son and recorded himself as the boy's father at a school.
However, next month she accidentally found SMSes being exchanged between Rajkumar and another woman and later got to know that he was already married and had two sons. The next year, the victim gave birth to a boy, following which Rajkumar started staying away from home for longer periods, it claimed.
