Impressed by the way he carried himself, Radha's parents agreed to the proposal.
According to police, the couple met in March and Satish asked Radha to accompany him on a business trip to Chennai. Convinced that Satish won't take undue advantage of her, Radha agreed to go along with him.

The couple stayed at the Palmgrove Hotel, and Satish didn't misbehave with her in any way.
A few days later, he asked Radha to accompany him to Chennai once again. Since by now, Radha had completely fallen for him, she readily agreed.
On both occasions, she paid all the bills, amounting to Rs 1.5 lakh using her credit card. The duo put up in the same hotel, but this time Satish forced himself upon her.
"I tried to resist, but he threatened me with a knife. He assured that he would marry me," Radha told cops.

The duo returned to Bangalore the next day, and Satish severed all connections with the girl. That's when Radha told her parents that she was raped.
Aghast, her family started searching for him. They then contacted Sheshadripuram police who revealed that Satish had cheated several girls in the city with the same premise.
PSI Shrinivas J said, "We have registered the case and have started our investigation. Satish's real name is Amrutahalli, but we are yet to get the number of girls he has cheated."
