Man forced to 'marry' woman in ICU after she attempts suicide
Pune, Dec 5: A man was forced to marry a woman, with whom he had allegedly had a relationship, in the ICU of a hospital at Chakan in Pune district after she tried to end her life, the police said on Thursday.
The woman subsequently filed a case of rape against Suraj Nalavade, who is now untraceable.
The woman had claimed that Nalavade had forced her to have a physical relationship with him.
"When she asked him to marry her, he allegedly refused, saying she was from a lower caste," said an official of Chakan police station.
On November 27, the woman consumed poison and was rushed to a hospital and admitted to ICU.
"Some members of a little-known local outfit caught hold of Nalavade on the same day, and took him to the ICU.
They forced him to `marry' her by exchanging garlands," the official said.
Three days later, Nalavade disappeared, snapping all contact with the woman.
Two days ago, the woman filed a case of rape under IPC section 376 and under relevant provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against him.
Further probe is on, the police official said.

"Ab kya hoga, ye rab jane; Na woh mane, na ye mane (only god knows what will happen now as both sides did not agree)," Tharoor said on X, tagging a post-talks video clip of US Vice President J D Vance, who led the American delegation at the negotiations in Islamabad.
The United States and Iran failed to reach a peace deal at their historic 21-hour talks in Pakistan, leaving the fate of a tenuous two-week ceasefire in doubt, with both sides attempting to hold each other responsible for the collapse of the negotiations.

Vance said the Iranian side did not accept Washington's terms for ending the war even as the US presented its "final and best offer".
Hours after the talks collapsed, US President Donald Trump said on social media that the negotiations with Tehran failed as "Iran is unwilling to give up its nuclear ambitions".
Trump said the US Navy will actively interdict any vessel in international waters found to have paid tolls to Iran for transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route that handles roughly 20 per cent of global oil and LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas).
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the head of the Iranian negotiation team, said it is for the US to decide whether it can "earn our trust or not".
The Iranian foreign ministry, without elaborating, said the US side resorted to "excessive" and "illegal demands".
The failure to reach an agreement has dimmed the prospect of reopening the Strait of Hormuz to stabilise the global energy marke
