According to police, the woman who lived in Karnataka moved to her uncle’s place in South Mumbai in 2022, after her parents learned about her relationship with the man.
“After coming here, she enrolled in a college and is also doing a course to become an air hostess in Andheri,” said an officer, adding that the complainant had been in touch with the accused all the while.
Police said the woman told them about getting into a physical relationship with the man in January but claimed that she was unaware of him filming the act on his mobile phone.
On July 19, when the woman was returning after her classes, the man who suspected she was cheating on him, allegedly confronted her in Andheri and assaulted her on the street.
“The woman then contacted her uncle, following which they reported the matter at DN Nagar police station and a non-cognisable offence was registered,” said an officer. Police also warned the accused and allowed him to go.
Police said when the woman’s family came to meet her on Friday, they apparently told her about looking for an alliance for her. Irked over this, the accused allegedly sent their intimate video to her uncle on Saturday evening, police said.
“The woman and her mother reported the matter to the police station late Saturday, after which a case was registered against the accused,” an investigator added.
Police suspect that the accused is hiding in Bangalore. “A team will be dispatched after we trace his location and will arrest him soon,” said an officer.
