Jalandhar, July 25: A 19-year-old man hatched a conspiracy with his two friends who raped his girlfriend so that he could later use that as an alibi to not marry her, police in Jalandhar said on Monday.
The case came to light when the victim, aged 19 and a classmate of alleged conspirator Harpreet Singh Happy, approached the police. Happy was arrested and a case under sections 376D (gangrape), 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 417 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) registered against him and the two alleged rapists, identified as Bindu and Ravi, both aged 20. All three are from Talwan village in the district.
The victim told the police that Harpreet and she were in the same class in college and had decided to get married after a long courtship. “On July 20, he called me and said he wanted to introduce me to his parents,” she told the police. Around 10.30 pm, he phoned her and asked her to come out of her house so he could take her to his house, it is alleged.
