Jamnagar man booked for rape in Rajkot

RAJKOT: A Jamnager man was booked on Sunday night in Rajkot for allegedly raping a woman in Diu after promising to marry her.
Police said Ketan Kasundra had allegedly taken the 24-year-old survivor, who is from Jasdan in Rajkot district, to Diu and raped her several times.
According to the police, Kasundra befriended the survivor and, promising to marry her, raped her several times after taking her thrice to Diu on October 18, 2019, December 22, 2019 and January 21, 2020.
“Whenever the survivor broached the topic of marriage, Kasundra would avoid her. When the survivor went to Kasundra’s home in Jamnagar, Kasundra told her that he could not marry her as she was from a different caste and that his parents were against the alliance,” said A G Ambasana, sub-inspector with Rajkot taluka police station.
