Man Arrested for Rape Over False Marriage Promise
A man named Umar Qureshi was arrested in Mumbai after his girlfriend of 15 years found out he was planning to marry someone else.
The woman accused him of rape, saying he promised to marry her but didn't keep his word.
The police arrested him, and a court decided to keep him in custody until January 17.
The man asked for time to complete his wedding rituals, but the court said no.
This all happened because the woman saw a message about his wedding and got upset.
A 30-year-old woman accused her 32-year-old boyfriend of rape after discovering his plan to marry another woman.
The couple had been in a relationship for 15 years since their college days.
The woman saw a WhatsApp status about the man's wedding and confronted him, but he assured her it was not true.
Upon receiving information about the scheduled wedding on January 15, she filed a complaint with the Nagpada Police.
The police arrested the man, and the court remanded him to police custody until January 17, rejecting his request for time to complete the wedding rituals.
