Man detained in Himachal following rape allegation linked to a broken marriage vow
Law enforcement officers in Mandi have taken into custody a 27‑year‑old man from Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, who is accused of raping a woman after promising to marry her.
The accused, identified as Sameer, son of Dilshad, was found in the village of Thural, Kangra district, just moments before he intended to leave Himachal Pradesh.
How the complaint originated
According to the victim’s statement, Sameer gave her a marriage promise, then escorted her to Mandi where the alleged assault took place. After the incident, he allegedly fled with her motorcycle, mobile phone, roughly ₹70,000 in cash, and jewellery, abandoning her in Chandigarh. Subsequent attempts to contact him were ignored.
Investigation chronology
The grievance was lodged on 29 August as a Zero FIR at the Civil Lines Police Station in Muzaffarnagar and later transferred to the Sadar Police Station in Mandi for a thorough probe.
Following the filing, the complainant posted a video from Mandi questioning why police had not yet located the suspect, noting that his phone remained active. Investigators examined the mobile‑tower logs, traced the signal to Thural, and moved swiftly to arrest him before he could cross the state border.
Official remarks
Mandi Superintendent of Police Vinod Kumar confirmed that the case is under active investigation and that Sameer will be produced before a court in accordance with legal procedure.
Authorities are now scrutinizing the full range of allegations, including the alleged theft of money and jewellery, to decide on additional charges based on the evidence collected.
