Assistant Inspector Farai Mashavira from Nkata 9 in Bulawayo is wanted by the police for allegedly raping his 17-year-old housemaid.
The incident occurred on September 12 when Mashavira returned home from work and was alone with the teenager.
According to reports, he attacked her while she was washing dishes, dragging her to the living room and committing the assault.
Afterward, he changed back into his police uniform and left the house.
The teenager shared her ordeal with her aunt over the phone, who then informed Mashavira’s wife.
Together, they reported the incident to Tshabalala police on September 14.
