After which she allegedly relented and met Kunchikurve at a secluded place in Kalina on January 5, where he allegedly raped her.

"On Wednesday, she found a poster bearing her photograph and an obscene caption stuck to an electricity pole outside her house. Her husband also saw it and confronted her, after which she broke down and told him the truth," said Police Sub Inspector Pallavi Kulkarni.
