Surat: A 26-year-old man was booked at Pandesara police station on Saturday for allegedly raping a 25-year-old woman and later blackmailing her after she got married to another man.
The accused refused to marry the rape survivor and so she got married to another man as per her family’s wish. However, the accused started to blackmail her by threatening to share her videos and photos on social media if she does not come to meet him and continue the relationship.
Police booked Surajsinh Subhash Rathore, a resident of Pandesara, for raping the woman who became friend of his four years ago. He promised to marry her and she believed him because both were from the same community.
“We have booked the accused and are collecting evidence to prove the charges against him,” police said.
