NEW DELHI: A man claiming to be a navy officer allegedly raped a 27-year-old German national working in an embassy after promising to marry her. The woman, who stays at a rented accommodation in Jangpura, southeast Delhi, sought help from Delhi Police after he severed contact with her. A case has been registered at the Hazrat Nizamuddin police station. The accused is on the run.

The victim told police that she met the accused last year. He claimed to be a navy officer on a social networking site and the two started chatting. "After a few months, they exchanged numbers and started talking on phone. Then the accused met her at a coffee shop in South Extension, where declined to reveal his identity due to 'security reasons'. The couple kept seeing each other and the accused finally proposed to her," a senior police officer said.

Police said afterwards, he started going to her house, especially on weekends. Whenever she talked about marriage, he tried to evade the topic. "A few months back, he started ignoring her and did not respond to her calls. The victim then realized he had cheated her on the pretext of marriage," said the officer. With the help of her friends, she contacted police.
