Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The local police on Tuesday arrested a man on the charges of raping a 25-year-old live-in partner whom he met on social media. When she became pregnant and asked him to marry her, he fled.

Ayodhya Nagar police station incharge Nilesh Awasthi told Free Press that the victim had filed the complaint of rape against her friend Karan Thakur, resident of Vidisha.

The victim used to put pressure on accused for the marriage but he would make excuses, police said.
