Speaking to IndyaTv.IN, the victim actress said: “I was searching for a suitable groom as my family was keen that I get married and settle down. Accordingly, both my family and I were looking for a match and I had created a profile on a well-known matrimonial website. I met the accused person online about a month ago and we became friends. I had made my intention clear to the accused that I was only keen on marriage and nothing else. We had been in touch with each other on phone and chat for the last one month. The accused was in Bhopal all this while. He came down to Mumbai on Sunday and visited my home for a meeting. Unfortunately, there was nobody at my place at the time. The accused convinced me that he was ready to marry me and even said that he was ready for the nuptials within the next 1.5 months. He told me to go ahead with the marriage preparations and make all the bookings. We discussed marriage and the formalities in detail at my home at Lokhandwala in Mumbai.

“The accused then tried to get physically close to me and managed to coax me to have sex with him. I was not ready to have sex at the first meeting, but the accused almost forced me to have sex by fully taking the initiative and forcibly undressed me. I too got carried away and since we had been discussing marriage with all the minute details and arrangements for the last one month, I gave in unwillingly and the accused had sex with me without any protection 3-4 times at my home – albeit without my complete consent. I only gave in unwillingly because the accused had promised marriage and even  finalized all the arrangements. He had convinced me totally that we were getting married within 1.5 months and said we would fly to Bhopal to meet his family the next day. He even allegedly had unnatural sex with me forcibly wherein he pinned me down on the bed using great force.  I meekly submitted as I was keen on marriage and did not want to do anything to jeopardize the marriage, which was finalized,” the victim disclosed.

According to the victim’s written complaint, which has been accessed by IndyaTv.IN, the accused began avoiding her from the next day onwards (Monday) and made excuses to meet her.

“He avoided me on Monday and Tuesday and I began to smell something fishy and went to his house. Then he told me point blank that he was not interested in marriage for various reasons and he did not want to keep in touch with me at all. I tried to plead with him to try and make things work and that we should stay as friends and see how things work out, since just two days earlier he had finalized all the marriage arrangements and had sex with me on the presumption that the marriage was finalized and that we were getting married after 1.5 months. However, the accused flatly refused and began denying everything. He asked me to get out of his house and literally pushed me out. He even threatened to kill me, if I came to his house again. Since then, two days after having forcible sex with me on the pretext of marriage, the accused blocked me on Whatsapp and phone and is now not meeting me or even taking my calls,” the victim has alleged.

The victim Tv actress in her complaint has stated that she was conned and forced into having sex with the pilot, who clearly had no intention to marry her from the very start and was only using the matrimonial website with a dishonest intention and intention to cheat gullible women to sleep with him on the pretext of marriage.
