According to a Deccan Chronicle report, the woman filed an FIR stating that her and Subramanya’s family had agreed on their marriage.

Her FIR further reports that on November 1, under the pretext of taking her to his sister’s house for a party, the actor took her to his room and offered her a soft drink, following which she fell unconscious and had realised that she had been raped. Days later, the actor allegedly told her that he cannot marry her as she is poor, and that he can only marry a woman who can invest Rs 20 lakhs in his movie.

According to The News Minute, an FIR has been registered under sections 376 (rape) and 503 (criminal intimidation). The Basavanagudi Police are investigating the case and are currently trying to apprehend Subramanya, who is absconding.
