After their separation, the accused woman allegedly started threatening the man, saying she would implicate him in a rape case unless he paid her money. Between July 2022 and May 2024, the complainant gave approximately Rs 30 lakh in cash, 15 to 20 tolas of gold jewellery, a computer, a laptop, a monitor, and various other items to the woman and her partner.

The man, fearing being implicated in a rape case, was reportedly paying the woman Rs 22,000 every month for a couple of years. In all, the man had paid the woman Rs 41.18 lakh. However, the woman’s demands did not cease, prompting the man to seek police assistance and file an FIR against the accused woman and her associate.
