According to Zee news, Londhe and woman were in a sexual relationship. Londhe has promised to marry the woman, but after she became pregnant he changed his mind. The two worked at a manufacturing firm, Jabil Circuit India where Shrikant was an engineer and the woman worked as a helper, a report by the Hindu said.

“When the girl bought her case to us, we immediately called up the boy’s father. His family further refused to accept the girl on grounds of caste, stating vaguely that the girl would be paid money to recompense her. It was then we decided the boy should be taught a lesson,” Desai told the newspaper.

Desai has previously made headlines by entering places of worship where women aren’t allowed. She entered the Kapaleshwar temple and Haji Ali Mosque in May.
