A 40-year-old fashion designer in Mumbai on Tuesday accused her businessman-neighbour of rape under the guise of getting married to her. The woman said that her neighbour who was married to another woman, profited from her because she and her husband had a rocky marriage. She alleged that he flew her to Bangkok and booked five-star hotels to have sex with her while she was under the impression of getting married to him.

In a complaint, the woman has said that the man abused her after she divorced her husband according to Islamic laws. The man then refused to marry her.
