The Kandivli police have registered cases of rape and cheating against a 40-year-old man who allegedly engaged in unnatural sexual acts and deceived a 37-year-old transgender individual over the years.
According to sources, the victim and the accused first met during the Navratri festival in Goregaon in 2012. Their friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship, culminating in their marriage at the Bandra court in 2018. After residing in Goregaon for a couple of years, the accused relocated the victim to Kandivli, where they began living in a rented flat.
The complainant alleges that she would provide the accused with money for daily expenses. Additionally, the accused had purportedly taken substantial amounts under various pretexts, such as family illnesses and financial needs. Then, in 2023, the accused clandestinely married another woman.
The accused justified this action by citing familial pressure to marry, assuring the victim that he had no feelings for the new wife and would soon divorce her. He claimed that it would cost approximately Rs 85,000 to dissolve the second marriage, and trusting him, the victim provided the funds.
Later, the accused informed the victim that his family demanded R11 lakh for the divorce. The victim realised that the accused had manipulated and financially exploited her. She lodged a police complaint.
“We have registered the case under various sections if the IPC,” said an officer from Kandivli police station.
