Woman alleges rape by ex-lover, decides to marry him

Delhi: A woman has reportedly decided to marry her lover after accusing him of rape.

A senior police officer said Junaid Khan had been arrested after the woman filed an FIR of rape against him.

"Junaid and the woman are both residents of Raghubir Nagar area. They were in love and wanted to marry each other but their family members were against the match. When the woman's relatives came to know about their love affair, they got her married. But Junaid started going to meet her at her husband's house. He (Junaid) again proposed marriage to her and the woman eloped with him," said a police officer.

The officer said the couple lived together as man and wife for a month but after that Junaid left, refusing to marry her. The woman then approached the police and lodged an FIR of rape against him. Junaid was arrested on the basis of allegations made by her.

But the story took a sudden u-turn when the woman's husband divorced her for eloping with her ex-boyfriend.

"She again approached Junaid for a compromise. Now she has turned hostile and wants to marry him. The case has puzzled us. We first arrested Junaid and now she says he is a nice guy," said the police official.
