The Delhi Police have arrested a 32-year-old engineer for raping a girl on the pretext of marriage. The accused had got in touch with the victim through a matrimonial website.
The police said that after getting friendly with the girl, the accused — identified as Mohammad Sirajuddin Ahmed — invited her to Bhopal and developed a physical relationship with her.
“He called her to Bhopal and developed physical relations with her claiming that he would eventually marry her,” Chhaya Sharma, DCP (south) said.
“Ahmed also came to Delhi, where he took the victim’s ATM card and withdrew cash from her account. But after all this, he refused to marry her and went to back to Hyderabad, his native place,” the DCP added.
The police said that Ahmed ran an education society and his father was an inspector with the Maharashtra police.
Ahmed also organised cricket matches and was caught when a police team saw his number on a hoarding in Hyderabad.
