Usually, women file rape charges against men who dump them after the promise of marriage.

In Arnab Ganguly’s case, it’s the opposite. He was accused of rape when he pursued the woman who promised marriage to him. And because of that, he has spent 8 months in Tihar jail for something he did not do.

After failing to desperately save face, he has finally written to the Prime Minister’s Office to do him justice.

He started his business by opening his own call center. The woman who pressed rape charges was married and was working as an HR executive for him. They became close to each other and eventually physical. The entire thing was consensual.

“She started sharing her personal life with me. She used to talk about her painful marriage, and having undergone divorce myself, I used to tell her how she could set it right.”

Eventually, after having a physical relationship, Arnab asked if she would divorce her husband. The woman was not happy with her marriage at all and wanted to divorce. She said she will marry Ganguly.

“We got physically intimate only after she assured me of marriage. I told her that if she is serious about the relationship, we should take it a step forward.”

In the end, when Ganguly moved to another city, she ignored his calls. After some time Delhi police turned up and imprisoned him for raping the woman. He was flabbergasted to the point that it took him 8 months to write this letter to Modi.

“If a girl is in a relationship with a man, promised to marry him, gets physically intimate and then refuses to marry him that happened in my case, can a rape charge be filed against the girl?”

He has also written to women and child development ministry seeking help against such a ruthless law. Which does make some sense, because a woman can promise marriage and take it back anytime.

If a man does the same, he can be arrested for rape.

If the man pursues marriage, he can be arrested for rape too.

It does not make any sense.
