A BBM student has accused her lover of making her pregnant and later selling off their newborn baby boy, through illegal adoption.

However, investigating officers said the child was legally given for adoption with her consent. She had registered the case only because the youth refused to marry her, they added.

The complainant, Twinkle Sen, 22, had come to Bangalore to pursue her BBM degree and was staying as a paying guest. She alleged that an unknown person used to call her regularly and expressed his wish to become friends with her. As she refused to answer his calls, he allegedly came to her PG to meet her.

“He introduced himself as Rajiv Mohato and claimed that he knew everything about me. I accepted his friendship after I felt that he was a well-mannered person,” Twinkle said.

The friendship blossomed into love and after seven months on March 5, 2008, Rajiv took her to a temple in Sanjay Nagar. He applied sindoor on her forehead and told her that they both were married, Twinkle claimed.

“We started staying together in his house like a married couple. His parents were also aware of our relationship,” she said.

Meanwhile, Twinkle became pregnant and desired to have a formal wedding. But, they took her to a nursing home in
Koramangala, and tried to abort the child, which didn’t materialise.

“After the birth of my child in July 2009, they took my signatures on some papers and gave away my baby for adoption. I haven’t even seen my child,” Twinkle alleged.
