NAGPUR: 33-year-old Shailesh Joshi , a resident of Vivekanand Nagar who works as a life insurance agent, was arrested by Dhantoli police under rape charges after he cheated a 30-year-old woman by having physical relationship with her on assurance of marriage. The woman filed a complaint against him after she learnt that the accused was already married.

Joshi was produced in the district court on Saturday and is under police custody. He was arrested within a few hours of the woman lodging the complaint.

The woman, who is planning to appear for competitive exams, met Joshi in 2012 at an expo held at Kasturchand Park. The two exchanged numbers, their friendship grew and soon they were in love. The woman claimed that Joshi did not inform her about being married. She came to know about it through a common friend.

When she confronted Joshi, he said he was not happy with his wife and would be divorcing her soon. Joshi even promised marriage to the complainant. She decided to file a complaint after he started avoiding her calls for the last few months.
