The woman alleged that the accused repeatedly established physical relations with her after promising to marry her. According to her complaint, in 2024, when she was around two-and-a-half months pregnant, the accused allegedly compelled her to undergo an abortion against her wishes.
The complainant further stated that when she later insisted that the accused fulfill his promise of marriage, he allegedly refused. Feeling deceived and mentally harassed, she approached Lakadganj Police Station and lodged a complaint.
Based on her complaint, police registered an FIR against the accused under relevant sections pertaining to rape, causing miscarriage without consent, and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The accused has since been arrested.
Police said the investigation is continuing, and further legal action will be taken based on the findings of the probe.
