A 26-year-old software engineer, Sandeep Ramlal Patil, was arrested in the wee hours of Tuesday for allegedly raping a 26-year-old front office executive by falsely promising marriage and also for taking obscene video clips of her.

According to the police, Patil hails from Jalgaon district and was working in a private software company in Baner. In 2008-09, the complainant was working in a Karvenagar-based private software company as a front executive officer.

The senior police inspector of Yerawada police station, Deepak Sawant said, “In 2009, the complainant and Sandeep got to know each other via online chatting. On March 10, 2009 Sandeep and the victim met for the first time on the premises of Sandeep’s company.’’

“After two months, Sandeep and the victim met in a hotel where Sandeep proposed to marry the victim,’’ Sawant added.

Initially, Sandeep was staying in a room in Shivajinagar on rent. After his marriage proposal, Sandeep was insisting on having physical relations, but the victim was refusing.

“In November 2009, Sandeep took the victim to his friend’s room in Yerawada and had sex. Later, Sandeep took her to his room in Shivajinagar and took obscene video clips on his cellphone,’’ Sawant said.

On May 2010, Sandeep resigned and joined another software company in Baner, which sent him to the US. Meanwhile, Sandeep’s friend informed the victim that her obscene clips were loaded on an internet site.

In July 2010, after Sandeep returned to India, the victim insisted on marriage, but he refused. As a result, she lodged a complaint with the police.
