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.

Agra, Dec 23: A truck driver dragged two people for about 300 metres in Agra under his vehicle, police on Monday said.
Some locals forced the driver to stop the truck and extricated the men from under the vehicle.
Police arrested the driver and seized the truck.
The two men, both residents of Nunhai in Agra, were going towards Rambagh from Waterworks when they met with an accident around 11 pm Sunday.
