A few days later, Sanjeevulu proposed his love to her and asked her to marry him. The woman accepted his proposal. On October 5, 2017, he reportedly took her to Yadagirigutta where he forcibly had sex with her after promising to marry her.
Madhapur inspector Y. Nageshwar Rao said, “The accused lured her on the pretext of marriage and cheated her.

The accused has been booked for cheating.”and criminal intimidation and has been taken into custody for questioning.”
