Woman Repeatedly Raped, Forced Into Abortion On Promise Of Marriage

A 32-year-old woman has come forward with disturbing allegations of repeated rape and coerced abortion at the hands of a man who had promised to marry her, as reported by Navi Mumbai police on Friday.

Following a formal complaint, authorities took action on Thursday and registered a case against the accused under sections 376(2)(n) (involving repeated rape of the same woman) and 313 (conducting a miscarriage without the mother’s consent) of the Indian Penal Code.

The victim, a resident of Kalamboli, recounted that the accused had initiated a friendship with her and made assurances of marriage. However, the accused allegedly subjected her to multiple instances of sexual assault in various locations, including Pune, Airoli, Panvel, and Kalamboli.

The situation took a distressing turn when the accused impregnated the woman and forced her into undergoing an abortion, according to the police. Consequently, the case has been transferred to the Pune police, as the reported crimes were initiated in that jurisdiction.
