The wife of the convict, who was released from the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison based on a forged Supreme Court order, has reportedly claimed that she was sexually exploited by the Chief Superintendent of the Prison, presently Deputy Inspector-General of Prisons (DIG) M. Somashekhar, for her husband’s parole and release.

According to the police, the convict’s wife, in her statement before the court under Section 183 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, alleged that accused Srikanth, a second division assistant in the convict section, had told her that she should sexually cooperate with Somasekhar to secure her husband’s release.

The police have alleged that Somasekhar subsequently sexually exploited her.
