Boyfriend arrested for impregnating woman twice, forcing abortion

    A 28-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly raping a woman in Mumbai on several occasions on the pretext of marriage and causing miscarriage after making her pregnant twice.

    In 2016, the victim got pregnant but the accused took her to an abortion clinic and got her medicines for the same. He also promised to marry her and met her parents as well. Neither of their parents, however, was aware of their physical relationship.

     

    The case came to light on Valentine’s Day when the woman attempted committing suicide and consumed phenyl and was admitted to a government hospital where she got scared and said she consumed phenyl thinking it was cough syrup. A medical test at the hospital revealed that she was pregnant and the police were informed.

     

    The complainant filed a case of rape alleging that her boyfriend kept raping her on the false pretext of marriage and made her pregnant twice.

     

    The accused was arrested and remanded to police custody.
