Rajkot: A primary school teacher lodged a rape complaint against a wholesale trader of medicines in Rajkot on Sunday night.

The 28-year-old survivor alleged that the accused, identified as Divyesh Jhantakia (42), had raped her several times at her residence and at Jhantakia’s office at Bhootkhana Chowk for the past one year.

Later, when the survivor asked for marriage, Jhantakia reneged on his promise, following which, the survivor lodged the complaint,” said V K Gadhvi, inspector with Bhaktinagar police station.
