A Mumbai police constable was dismissed from the force for allegedly being in a live-in relationship with a married woman and breaching her trust, an official said.
The conduct of constable Somnath Angule, who was attached to the Local Arms division in Tardeo in central Mumbai, had violated service rules and maligned the image of the force, the official said.
Angule, when he was posted at JJ police station in 2019, had an affair with a married woman and started living with her, he said.
The constable had given his name to the child they had and also promised to marry the woman, he said. He had signed on a stamp paper about their live-in relationship.
