Noida:
Police from Sector 113 station arrested a man on Monday for allegedly raping a woman from a village in Sector 49 after promising marriage and pressuring her to convert religions.
Two other accused remain at large. The victim filed a case on Saturday under court orders.
Station in-charge Krishan Gopal Sharma identified the arrested man as Asif, a former coworker from Khoda Colony, Ghaziabad. Asif’s father, Nazir, and another associate, Nasir, are being hunted by a police team and will be arrested soon.
The victim, living separately from her husband with her child, met Asif in 2023 while he worked at a salon in Sector 121. Asif allegedly feigned friendship, promised marriage, raped her multiple times in hotels, and forced her to have an abortion when she became pregnant. He even made her observe fasting for conversion. When she complained to relatives, they threatened her and sided with Asif. She later sought justice through police and the court.
