On the promise of marrying her, he had sexual relationship with her on 03.07.2022. On 14.08.2022, he informed that he married another women on 11.07.2022. However, again on 28.08.2022, petitioner had forcible sexual relationship with her. He also shown the whatsapp chats with several women and also stated that the defacto complainant is one among them. Therefore, defacto complainant consumed poison at about 08.30.p.m on 28.08.2022, and she was admitted in the hospital by her parents. Thereafter, present complaint was given.

5. The statement of the victim girl under Section 164 of Cr.P.C of the defacto complainant also supports the allegations made in the complaint.
