According to police sources, after this, Shantappa allegedly called the woman three times and spoke to her in an obscene manner. The woman then lodged a complaint against him, producing call records as evidence.
Shantappa, a native of Kushtagi taluk in Koppal district, had joined the police force as a constable in 2022.
