The complainant stated that she was taken to various places by Prateek, including a trip to Latur in Maharashtra and a visit to Shirdi by flight on May 13, 2024, where she shared a hotel room with him.

According to the complaint, the 2 families had agreed to a formal engagement, which took place on Dec 25, 2023 at Prateek’s residence with mutual consent from both families. Following the engagement, Prateek allegedly insisted on physical intimacy under the assurance of marriage.

The woman has accused Prateek of cheating her by promising marriage and later backing out after establishing a physical relationship.
