It is stated in the complaint that she met Vinay on 02.05.2026 through her friend Chandini, initially they were good friends and he used to call and text her every day. Over a period of time, they developed relationship. Vinay repeatedly requested her to have physical relations, but she refused. Subsequently, they had frequent arguments, after which Vinay assured the complainant that he will marry her. Believing the promise of Vinay, she reposed complete trust on him. On 04.07.2026, Vinay took her to Yellow Bells Signature hotel, Kondapur, where they had physical relations on the false promise of marriage. Vinay has also taken Rs.25,000/- from her but failed to return the amount.
