One day, he came when my husband was at work, she said, adding that he brought some intoxicating substance which he mixed in tea and made her drink. “I fell unconscious and he then raped me and also made a video. He often showed me that video to blackmail me if I refused to give him money,” she said.

The SP Saddar said that the woman was medically examined and the accused will be presented before the court with solid evidence.
