The accused cop's wife alleged that the victim and her husband came to their residence and hurled casteist slurs at him. After Kapadiya's wife lodged a complaint, the survivor and her husband were booked under The Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. 

As per reports, initial police investigations have revealed that Kapadiya was earlier posted at the Palsana police station and was transferred to the Umarpada police station in January when a video of him fighting with the survivor went viral.

The 33 year old rape victim alleged that during the 2020 lockdown, she was on her way to buy milk in Palsana when the accused allegedly abducted her.
