Prominent sportswoman accuses state doctor of raping her for two years, probe on
KOLHAPUR: A prominent international level sportswoman from Maharashtra has accused a Karnataka doctor of raping her for two years, police said.
According to Investigating Officer Dilip Tibile of Karveer Police Station, the complaint was received earlier this week from the 33-year-old sportswoman against a doctor living in Gulbarga town in north Karnataka.
"The complainant has said the accused has repeatedly raped for over two years with hopes of marriage and then reneging on his promise. The accused is absconding and we are on the lookout," Tibile told IANS.
The victim said she came in touch with the doctor via social media in December 2016 and after sometime, he visited Kolhapur to meet her.
Later, he proposed marriage and since he appeared to be from a respectable background, she agreed to the proposal.
Subsequently, till March, he called her on two occasions to Goa and Bengaluru and sexually assaulted her, as per the complaint, said Tibile.
When she reminded him of the marriage proposal, he flatly refused to marry her, leading to a major argument.
Shocked by this, the sportswoman threatened to lodge a police complaint. However he retorted by warning her of dire consequences on social media and even threatened to kill her, according to her complaint.
Taking serious note of the grievances, the Kolhapur Police have formed teams to hunt down the doctor, said Tibile.
The Maharashtra Police has sought the help from its Karnataka counterpart to help trace the accused and bring him to justice.

ED attaches assets worth Rs 1,428 crore of Goldenland Group in chit fund case
Bhubaneswar, Apr 29 (PTI): The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday said it has attached assets worth Rs 1,428 crore of Goldenland Group of Companies in a chit fund case.
In a statement, the ED claimed that its investigations have revealed persons, entities and companies associated with Golden Land Developers Ltd and GLP Developers Ltd illegally raised huge amounts of money from the public in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh in the garb of real estate development.
It had floated illegal financial businesses of lump sum deposits, recurring deposits, and monthly investment schemes, among others, in the guise of plot booking by alluring innocent people with the false promise of higher returns, the ED alleged.
"Large-scale diversion of cash to sister concerns and to the accounts of Directors and associates has also been unearthed," it alleged.
"Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Bhubaneswar Zonal Office has provisionally attached assets having present value of Rs. 1428 Crore of M/s Goldenland Group of Companies under the provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002," the statement said.
Among these assets are bank deposits of Rs 15.06 crore, and about 1,000 acre of land in various districts of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, besides some constructed buildings and structures.
The ED had in February last year carried out searches at properties of people connected to these companies in Odisha, Punjab, Chandigarh.
The agency initiated the investigation on the basis of an FIR registered by the CBI under various sections of the IPC.
