The complainant is a 26-year-old resident of Katol. She became friends on Instagram with the accused, a young man who lives in Vardhaman Nagar.
According to her complaint, she was working in Surat. The accused's paternal aunt also lives in Surat, so he visited the city often. He came to Surat in June 2025 and took the woman to a hotel near Surat railway station. There, on the promise of marrying her, he had sexual relations with her.
