He then forced the woman to talk to him following which he gave indications he was in ‘love’ with her. He then forcefully established sexual relations with her.
However, when the woman learned that the accused belonged to another religion she stopped talking to him. She learned that the accused had lied to her saying that he was Ashish and that he belonged to the Hindu religion. Following this the accused threatened the woman to convert her religion. He also threatened the woman saying that he would make her derogatory photos that he had shot, viral, if she failed to comply.
The woman in the complaint said that on 14th October, she was dragged by the accused and one Mohsin into the shop named Malik Computers where the accused persons assaulted her and threatened to convert to Islam.
