Amethi woman alleges rape on marriage promise; police search

Amethi: A woman has accused a man of repeatedly raping her after promising marriage in a case linked to Shagun Motors on the town’s bypass. According to information provided to NewsDarpan, police have registered a case on her written complaint and carried out searches to locate the accused. The complainant’s identity is being withheld.

The complaint names Aman, son of Ashok, as the accused. The woman alleges that he used the promise of marriage to sexually exploit her. These are allegations under investigation, not a finding of guilt. The account supplied to the newsroom describes the alleged incidents as connected to the bypass establishment.

The supplied account also alleges that CCTV cameras at the premises were switched off when the alleged incidents took place, with the intention of preventing footage from being recorded. This claim forms part of the allegations surrounding the case; no examination of CCTV equipment or footage has been independently established by this report.

According to the information received, police first searched the accused’s home but did not find him there. A police team subsequently went to Shagun Motors on the bypass. Other people present at the premises were reportedly instructed to appear at the police station in connection with the inquiry.

A visit to the establishment and instructions to attend the station do not establish that those other people were involved in the alleged offence. The information supplied does not confirm an arrest in this case, and this report does not identify the civilian visible in the original supplied photograph as the accused.

The central issues in the complaint are the alleged promise of marriage, the allegation of repeated sexual assault and the claim relating to CCTV cameras. The allegations and the procedural account above are attributed to information supplied to NewsDarpan; a separate official police statement was not available for this report. The accused’s response was also not available.
