A 20-year-old woman has accused a man from her residential society of repeatedly sexually assaulting her over three years by allegedly promising to marry her, even after he became engaged to another woman, police said.
The woman approached Vatwa Police Station after her father discovered Instagram conversations between her and the accused, identified as Arsh Irshad Rangrez.
Relationship Began On Instagram
According to the complaint, the woman became acquainted with Rangrez, who lived in the same society, around three years ago. The two began communicating through Instagram and subsequently entered into a relationship.
About two months after they began their relationship, Rangrez allegedly called the woman to his house when no one else was present. Police said he allegedly assured her that he would marry her and had sexual intercourse with her.
The woman has alleged that the accused subsequently had sexual relations with her on several occasions, each time allegedly assuring her that he would marry her.
Accused Allegedly Continued Contact After Engagement
The situation changed about a year ago when Rangrez became engaged to another woman.
When the complainant questioned him about the engagement, he allegedly cited family pressure and assured her that he would still marry her.
Even after his marriage was reportedly fixed elsewhere, the accused allegedly continued communicating with the woman through Instagram and told her that he loved her while allegedly maintaining that he would marry her despite the other marriage arrangement.
Father Discovers Instagram Chats
According to the complaint, the woman's father checked her Instagram account around five days before the complaint was filed and came across conversations between the two.
After the family questioned her, she allegedly disclosed the details of her relationship with Rangrez.
Her father subsequently called Rangrez's parents to discuss the possibility of marriage. The family allegedly refused to agree to the marriage.
After the accused allegedly stopped responding, the woman approached Vatwa Police and lodged a complaint.
Police have registered a case and begun an investigation into the allegations.
