Man held for raping live-in partner on pretext of marriage
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A married woman, who separated from her husband, was allegedly raped by her live-in partner on pretext of marriage for three years, the police said on Thursday. After the woman gave birth to a baby girl a few days ago, the accused reneged on his promise, following which the woman lodged a complaint on Thursday and the accused was arrested.
The Govindpura police said frequent disputes used to take place between the woman and her husband. Later, she came in contact with a man named Aakash Dhameriya, who persuaded her to part ways with her husband. Three years earlier, she separated from her husband and moved into a live-in relationship with Aakash. Aakash promised to marry the woman and outraged her modesty numerous times.
A few days ago, the survivor, who was pregnant with Aakash’s child, gave birth to a baby girl, following which Aakash began avoiding her and reneged on his marriage promise. He even banished the woman from his house. Later, the woman also learnt that Aakash was married. The distressed woman approached the police on Thursday and lodged a complaint against Aakash.
