I think in the myth Ahalya is turned into stone for knowing/being seduce ot raped by Indra (read this on Wiki) so in this adaptation it curses the one that is doing the seducing. The officer could have left the room, but no he came back despite knowing she's married and it's forbidden. But I guess didn't know. So it's like a test and the cop didn't pass. I guess it's a more feminisit interpretation where the woman isn't always at fault. But then there were those small moments where the cop could misinterpret her youthfulness as seduction--like when her feet touches him, or her hands touch his when she gives him chai.
I like the ending. It's left open ended, sort of vague but still interesting to see it's a continuous cycle with them.
