A 26-year-old man was booked today for allegedly raping a 30-year-old woman under the pretext of marriage and making her abort, police said.

According to Oshiwara police, Abhay Vats, a resident of suburban Andheri, came in contact with the woman through social media in 2013 and has been in relationship with her since then.

Vats kept physical relations with the woman promising to marry her, following which she became pregnant recently, police said.

However, Vats made her undergo abortion, saying if the baby is allowed to born it may affect their careers.

When the woman asked him about marriage again, Vats allegedly started ignoring her, following which she lodged complaint with police.
 

No arrest has been made in the case as police are yet to trace Vats.
