Cops arrest 27-yr-old man for raping, trying to force wife into flesh trade

They often say life imitates art and in this case it holds true.

Taking inspiration from the famous Hollywood flick Indecent Proposal, Imran Khan, a 26-year-old man from Saki Naka seduced 21-year-old Sandhya (name changed), married her by blackmailing her with intimate videos of theirs and then forced her to sleep with two of his friends.

Imran Khan has been remanded to 14 days of custody.

The situation dates back to 2007 when Khan befriended Sandhya and took her to a guesthouse in Titwala.
"Khan drugged her and forced her to have sex with him.

He also recorded the entire act and then blackmailed her with it," said a police official at Saki Naka police station, where a case has been registered against Khan.

Hellish marriage

In April 2010, Khan wooed Sandhya and married her under the Muslim Marriage Act at the Bandra court.

Sandhya thought the marriage would end her worries but it was not destined to be as Khan had other plans in mind.

In October 2010, Khan took her to Kalyan with two of his friends and forced her to have sexual acts with them for money.

According to the police statement, the girl escaped the attempt to force her intoprostitution and ran away to Mangalore with the help of her family members.

"She lived at her uncle's place till March 2011.

However, when Khan came to know of her whereabouts, he followed her to Mangalore and published pictures of her seeking information about her," added the police officer.

No options left

Having no options left, Sandhya returned to the city and registered a complaint with the Saki Naka police on March 17.

Acting on the complaint, cops from the Saki Naka police station arrested Imran on Wednesday on the charges of fraud, rape and forcing someone into prostitution.

"Imran has been sent to 14 days of custody and we are investigating the matter," said Sub Inspector B Satkal, Saki Naka police station.

Meanwhile, Sandhya is devastated by the events of her life.

"All I ever wanted was a simple life and I thought Imran loved me. I wanted to study further and do something meaningful with my life. But, this incident has marred my entire life. I hope I will get justice," she said.
