New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) The Delhi Police has arrested a 24-year-old man for allegedly raping a woman on the pretext of marriage, officials said on Monday.

The accused Saurabh Chaudhary had a four-month relationship with the complainant. He had promised to marry the woman and allegedly established a physical relationship with her, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Rohit Meena said.

The police nabbed him from Aligarh.

“On July 13, a complaint was received at Vasant Kunj South police station in which the complainant alleged that she met Chaudhary in 2023 through social media and they established a relationship,” Meena said.

The officer said Chaudhary left Delhi in May and declined to marry the woman.
