Gurugram, March 10 A man has been arrested on charges of raping a 20-year-old woman on the pretext of marriage, and impregnating her, the police said on Thursday.

The man, identified as Yogesh, is a resident of Uttarakhand. He was working at a hotel in the Bhondsi area of Gurugram.

The victim hails from Uttar Pradesh. She had met the accused around nine months ago. In her police complaint, she claimed that soon they became friends, and later, he proposed her for marriage.
