An FIR has been registered at a Noida police station against a Karnataka cadre IPS officer, following serious allegations made by his wife.

The FIR names Shivanshu Rajput, a 2019 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer. The complaint, spanning 41 pages, was filed by his wife Dr Kriti Singh.

In her complaint, Kriti has accused Rajput and several members of his family of dowry harassment and domestic violence. In addition to the IPS officer, the complaint names his mother, father, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and several of his friends, seven people in total.
