The girl had said that she is working as a doctor with accused Praveen. But later Praveen came to know that she is unemployed. This created a rift in their relationship. The girl filed a complaint of sexual harassment against Praveen. It is learnt that she is mother of two children now.

    The women was in live-in relationship with the accused i.e. everything is consensual. Now the poor guy was running and hiding thanks to a fake case. Is this justice? Our heads hang in shame.

    Why Afghanistan? There are better nations. This is country made for folks like you. The day we have a choice we will all live in a land with better laws and civility. Trust me everyone would. Including you. No one wants to live in a land where laws are made to suit a few.

    I really don't know what the backstory is, but reading the article above I get the impression that both mutually loved each other in the beginning and stayed together, but then there was a fight and they separated, girl filed for rape? if not true, that's misuse of the law! If true, hope the girls gets justice. Let justice prevail!
