MUMBAI: Malvani police recently arrested a 38-year-old married man for duping and raping a 23-year-old small-time singer under the pretext of marrying her since 2017.
Vishal Pandey's (38) fraud came to light recently when the victim got suspicious on learning that a payment of Rs 6 lakh, which he had taken from her to book a flat at a residential tower in Malad, was cancelled without her knowledge.
She found out that Pandey even got a housing loan for Rs 50 lakh approved from a nationalised bank in her name.
A case was filed on March 25 with Malvani police, who arrested Pandey on March 29 and produced him before a local court the next day. The court remanded him to police custody. "Pandey, who resides in Mira Road with his wife and child, got into relationship with the victim and was staying with her ever since they met at an event. They started dating after communicating with each other on social media and then got into a live-in relationship," said an officer of Malvani police station.
