But Chandrashekar forced her to stay the night and initiated sex. After making more promises to marry her, they started living in the same house.

“In the name of marriage, Chandrashekar asked for the complainant’s gold, which he used to get a loan from Muthoot Finance. Later, his family came to the complainant’s home and demanded Rs 3 crores as dowry,” the report said.

After making their demands, Chandrashekar’s family members started harassing the victim and her family mentally and physically. Then they rejected the marriage altogether by insulting her, saying that she and her family belonged to a lower caste. The family sent her out of the flat.
