The complainant said she was a divorcee and had been in a relationship with Lucky for 12 years. She said there were some differences between Lucky and her over some issue. She added that Lucky was not talking to her and on May 14, she, along with her friend, went to Beas to meet him.

The complainant said she met Santokh and told him that she wanted to meet Lucky. She alleged that he promised to take her to Lucky. She added that on the pretext of taking her to Lucky, he asked her to sit in his car alone.

She said he parked his car at a secluded place and raped her at gunpoint. He threatened her of dire consequences if she told anyone about it.

She said later, Santokh asked her to meet him. Disturbed over it, she narrated the incident to her friend. Thereafter, they decided to approach the police.
