Married man held for raping student

A 19-year-old Delhi University student alleged that she was raped by a 28-year-old man whom she befriended on social networking site Orkut.

The woman alleged that the accused, identified as Kamaldeep Pachar, raped her for three years on the pretext of marrying her and later left her, police said.

A police team was sent to Allahabad and the accused was arrested.

The incident was reported from South Delhi's Lodhi Colony area.

The woman said she met Kamaldeep in 2010.

"She said they became very good friends on the social networking site and then exchanged phone numbers. She said the accused forced himself on her many times and promised to marry her," a senior police officer said.

The woman said she recently met a common friend, who told her that Kamaldeep had married another woman.

"The DU student said she tried to contact him later but he did not respond. When she met him after that, he denied that he had married and fled to Allahabad," police said.

It was found that he had married a woman from Allahabad three months ago and he also continued his relationship with the victim, sexually exploiting her on several occasions, police said. Further investigation in the case is underway.

A similar incident was reported from Mehrauli, South Delhi. Police arrested two persons for allegedly molesting and raping a 21-year-old woman, who lives in Gurgaon.

She was in a relationship with one of them.
