Amethi Man Booked for Rape After 3-Year Marriage Deception
A woman in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, has filed a police complaint against a man for sexually exploiting her for three years under a false promise of marriage.
In a shocking case of betrayal and exploitation, the Kotwali Amethi police have registered a case against a man for allegedly sexually exploiting a woman for three years under the false pretext of marriage. The accused, identified as Aman Saroj, is alleged to have lured the woman with promises of a lifelong union, only to abandon her once he had achieved his goals.
The Beginning of a Deceptive Bond
The victim, a 35-year-old woman residing in a village within the Bhetua area, reportedly met Aman Saroj, a resident of Gangaganj and son of Ashok Saroj, after she had separated from her husband. According to the complaint filed with the police, Saroj quickly gained her trust by promising that he would marry her.
To make his intentions seem genuine, Saroj allegedly went as far as introducing the woman to his family members. Believing his assurances and the apparent acceptance of his family, the woman entered into a relationship with him.
Three Years of Exploitation
The woman alleges that based on the repeated promise of marriage, the accused engaged in physical relations with her over a period of approximately three years. The pair reportedly met and maintained this relationship at various locations during this time.
As time passed, the woman began requesting that Saroj fulfill his promise, marry her officially, and take her to his home to start their life together.
The 'Fake' Wedding Ritual
In a particularly cruel twist, the complainant alleges that when she pressed for marriage, Saroj took her to Kalikan Dham. There, he performed a symbolic gesture by filling her hair parting with vermillion (sindoor), claiming that this act constituted a marriage ceremony.
However, immediately following this ritual, he allegedly instructed her to return to her own home. It was only after this event that Saroj completely reneged on his promise, refusing to marry her and citing opposition from his family as the reason for his refusal.
Police Action and Investigation
Feeling cheated and exploited, the woman approached the local authorities to seek justice. Based on her detailed complaint, the Kotwali Amethi police have formally registered a case against Aman Saroj.
Station House Officer Shivakant Tripathi has confirmed that the police have taken cognizance of the matter and a thorough investigation is currently underway to ascertain the facts of the case.
