The Dindoshi police on Sunday arrested Rajeev Sadh, a 55-five-year old NRI businessman from Greater Noida, for allegedly raping a fashion designer under the pretext of marriage. Police said the accused who is already married, had posted his profile on a matrimonial website where he met the victim. He called the woman to a hotel room under the pretext of meeting her and then raped her after offering cake laced with sedatives.

According to the police, Sadh runs a garment business and has branches in more than seven countries across the world. "They both came in contact through a matrimonial site a few months ago and were planning to get married soon. Last month, the woman met Sadh in a five-star hotel in the western suburbs. During the first meeting, Sadh asked for sexual favours from her, which she refused. Later, they met for a second time in a different hotel. This time, he again sought sexual favours from her. On her denial, Sadh allegedly gave her a piece of cake which contained intoxicants. Soon after she consumed it, the woman fell unconscious and was molested by Sadh," a police officer said.
