Police Recruit’s New Uniform Drives Husband to Seek Justice

Katihar’s police station witnessed a personal crisis when constable Pratibha, newly posted at Mansahi, began distancing herself from husband Hans Lal. The couple, who married legally in 2022 after meeting in Prayagraj, had relied on the family’s modest earnings for her studies. After her selection, the khaki uniform seemed to mark a shift; phone conversations faded and rumors of a friendship with Rahul Sharma surfaced. Hans Lal alleges that explicit images and chats on Pratibha’s phone confirmed his fears. He has filed a written plea with SP Parichay Kumar, who expressed empathy and promised counseling through the women’s police station.
