The victim Victim Salika, 44, filed an FIR against the inspector, Parashiva Murthy under section 324 and 323 of IPC, for voluntarily causing hurt, at Bajpe police station on Thursday.
Salika had been summoned for questioning since it was gathered that she was in contact with her absconding husband, who is facing charges of rape under the Pocso Act in a case registered in 2017
In her complaint, Salika alleged that inspector Murthy hit her with a plate during the interrogation.
