One year since a woman distanced her boyfriend after learning about his criminal background, his attempts to pressurise her into marrying him turned into an attempt to strangle her in a public park on Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur. The 18-year-old woman had met the man, identified as Aman Sonkar, on Instagram but later found out that many criminal cases were registered against him. Subsequently, she distanced herself from him. He then started pressuring her for marriage and threatened to kill her if she refused. Sonkar would also call various members of the woman's family from different numbers, repeating the threats to her life. On Friday morning, Sonkar called her to a park, threatening to make her private photos viral. When they met, he continued to pressure her for marriage.
