Bhopal: A 24-year-old was raped for over four years with a promise of marriage. Incident was reported in Bairagarh police station on Saturday following which a case was registered.

Later, he refused to marry her, expressing doubts about her character. Police have registered the case and started investigation. The accused has not been arrested so far.

According to police, the 24-year-old woman and accused met at a wedding ceremony. They became friends. Accused allegedly started outranging her modesty on the promise of marriage. Whenever she raised the topic of marriage, he reportedly kept postponing it.

The last time, according to the complaint, the accused had physical relations with her on May 15 at a hotel in Bairagarh. Once again, the woman pressured him to marry her.
