BENGALURU: A 21-year-old woman filed a complaint against her boyfriend for allegedly raping and cheating her, by not marrying her as promised.The woman alleged that her boyfriend forcibly had sex with her after getting her drunk.

He later promised to marry her and they continued to be physically intimate. However, for the last six months he has allegedly been avoiding her, and has refused to marry her. After several warnings, the     police finally arrested the boyfriend and sent him to Parappana Agrahara Central Prison.

“I then approached DJ Halli police, who summoned Nagaraj and his family members and asked them to get Nagaraj married to me. They had taken three months’ time from the police. Nagaraj’s family members told the police that they would organise the marriage on April 22, but they didn’t do anything,” Suma said.
