Rahul Singh Sengar, 21, who stays at his uncle's residence in Hindustan Colony in Kanhan, has been booked under section 376 of Indian Penal Code at Ambazari police station. Sengar allegedly refused to marry the girl due to pressure from his parents.

Later, he stopped talking to her suddenly, after which she reported the matter to police. Police said that Sengar was not present at his uncle's residence and that a team would be sent to his parental place in Uttar Pradesh.
