According to sources, when Kasare met the victim in 2012, she was pursuing her graduation and doing a part-time job as an accountant. Soon they became good friends and continued the relationship for three years.

However, as Kasare was extremely abusive, the victim ended the friendship in 2015 and broke all ties with him. Not being able to accept the betrayal, he started harassing her.

Speaking to mid-day, the victim's cousin sister said, "Once in 2016, the accused visited her office and created a scene in front of her friends. He also used to call her up on her official number and abuse her. That is when she approached the Bangur Nagar police and filed a complaint in the matter." The police had registered a case under sections 509 and 506 of IPC and arrested him the same year, but later he managed to get bail.

Sources further said that in 2017 Kasare formed a fake WhatsApp group in her name and added many of her family members to it. Thereafter, he started posting obscene messages and photographs on it. That is when she approached the Dadar police and filed a complaint in the matter. Though he was arrested in the matter the second time, he got bail again.

In his latest attempt to harass the victim, he targeted her cousin sister and made a fake Facebook profile in her name. His main intention was to get the victim's number by approaching her relatives and friends through the fake profile. The victim's sister said, "He had even managed to get my number. He not only posted obscene pictures through the account, but even abused me over phone."

When contacted, Divakar Shelke, senior inspector of Dadar police station said, "We arrested the accused, but he was later released on bail." Meanwhile, Aradhana Gaware from Ahana Foundation said, "The authorities concerned should do something to help the girl. The accused might need treatment."
