The accused, identified as Ravikant Parashar alias Puttu, a resident of Ward No. 12 near Hanuman Temple in Chaikur, had reportedly been close to the victim’s family for years. According to police, he gained the family’s trust by helping them when the woman’s father fell critically ill.
Rape Under the Pretext of Document Collection
In her complaint, the woman stated that Parashar called her to his home on the pretext of collecting some documents. Once she arrived and was alone, he allegedly raped her. When she tried to resist, he threatened to kill her and seize her family’s property, which forced her to remain silent initially.
Extortion Through Obscene Video
The victim further alleged that the accused recorded an obscene video during the assault. He later sent the video to her WhatsApp and demanded ₹50,000, threatening to make it viral. Over a period of time, he extorted approximately ₹4–5 lakh from her, police said.
The harassment reportedly continued as Parashar lured her to another location on Barthara Road, where he again sexually assaulted and physically assaulted her.
Complaint Filed After Continued Threats
Unable to bear the ongoing threats and blackmail, the survivor confided in her mother, after which they approached the Gohad police station and filed a formal complaint.
