A senior DCI officer was Wednesday charged before an Embu court with raping a woman under his custody.
Jerevasio Njeru is said to have committed the offence at Manyatta Police Station on May 31.
The woman, 42, was in custody over suspected fraud.
He also faced a second count of indecently assaulting the woman by touching her private parts.
Njeru arrived in court under tight security and taken straight to the dock.
He denied the charges before the Chief Magistrate Maxwell Gicheru.
The magistrate released the suspect on Sh500,000 bond with surety.
The case will be heard on June 16.
