The accused has been identified as Ankush Sheru, alias Shrimant Ghuge, a resident of Borfadi village in Beed tehsil. A case has been registered against him at Neknoor Police Station under Section 108 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
According to police, the girl and the accused were allegedly in a relationship. The family has alleged that the accused had promised to marry her but later refused. They also claimed that he threatened to circulate their photographs, which caused her severe mental distress.
