MARGAO: Striking a friendship with a Pernem youth through a social networking site proved disastrous for a young girl from Mumbai who lodged a complaint with the Colva police that she was raped in a hotel at Benaulim when she was down in Goa to meet him. The accused, Cipriano D'Souza, 25, was arrested by the Colva police from the Dabolim airport on Sunday when he was preparing to go abroad.

Police sources said that the friendship of the girl and the accused over a social networking site turned into love and both decided to meet each other at Colva. On D'Souza's invitation, she came down to Goa in May and both checked into a hotel in Benaulim when she was allegedly raped by the accused. As the accused failed to live up to his assurance of marrying her, the victim lodged a police complaint. The Colva police booked an offence against the accused and were on the lookout for him.
