The complainant in the above noted FIR alleged that she was pursuing her studies in Bachelor degree and the petitioner used to chase her and after sometime, they became acquaintance. On 27th October, 2017, the petitioner took the prosecutrix in a hotel at Mahipalpur, New Delhi and gave her one cold drink laced with sedative and thereafter she was subjected to sexual intercourse against her consent. After that, the petitioner threatened the prosecutrix that he had taken the photographs and video of the prosecutrix
and the same will be uploaded on the internet, if she did not follow his instructions. Thereafter, the petitioner made a promise of marriage to the prosecutrix. On 10th November, 2017, the petitioner took the prosecutrix to the house of his sister in Rohini and told her that he will marry her.
