MUMBAI: The Oshiwara police arrested a 27-year-old man who allegedly sedated a woman, raped her and shot a video of it at his residence.

The accused sedated the woman by offering her a sweet dish. He then raped her and shot nude photos and videos of her. The next day, he threatened her to accept his demands failing which he would upload the photos and videos on social media.

The accused claimed that he was in love with the woman and wanted to marry her. The accused also forced her to watch videos of controversial evangelists and beat her if she did not follow the verses.
