He said police have declared a reward of Rs 10,000 on Rathore who is on the run. Singh said Rathore was in love with the woman and pressuring her to marry him but she rejected him.
"In 2020, the woman submitted a complaint under section 354 (assault or use of criminal force to any woman, intending to outrage her modesty) of IPC against Rathore. In 2021, she lodged another complaint against him for attacking her," the SP said.
Rathore lodged a complaint of abetment of suicide against the woman and her family members after his mother committed suicide by consuming poison. The accused had claimed that his mother took her life as the woman refused to marry him and her kin supported her, police said.
