Later the accused forced the woman to exchange phone numbers and chat on WhatsApp. The accused after a few days forced the woman to send her nude pictures on WhatsApp. He threatened the woman saying that he would expose their chats to her husband if she failed to fulfil his derogatory demands, as per the complaint.
Scared of the threats, the woman sent him the pictures. This continued for days. Then on 4th July, the accused called the woman and blackmailed her saying that he was coming to her house. On refusal, he threatened her. Reportedly, he barged into her home and brutally raped the woman for hours.
After this, he left home, got intoxicated, and returned to her home to continue to rape her. The woman yelled in pain listening to which her neighbors asked her what had happened. On narrating the ordeal, the enraged locals tried to trap the accused who then managed to flee from the spot.
Eventually, the police were informed and the accused was arrested under sections 63, 69, 329(4), and 319(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Samhita, 2023. The Police confirmed to the media that the accused hid his original identity to trap the woman and raped her on 4th July 2024.
