A 17-year-old Class 12 student was allegedly raped by her neighbour in Ghazipur area of East Delhi on the promise of marriage.
A senior police official said the victim said that one Durgesh Pandey met her a year ago and befriended her.
“She alleged that Durgesh promised to marry her and developed physical relations with her. The victim further alleged that the accused took her to another city where he developed physical relations with her. He then brought her back to Delhi,” said the official.
He further said that he refused to marry her when she contacted him in Delhi.
A few days ago, the victim got to know that the accused was already married and she decided to teach him a lesson. She narrated the incident to her family who called the police. The police lodged an FIR of rape after getting her medical report.
The accused is absconding and a manhunt has been launched to nab him.
