Author Nilotpal Mrinal has been charged with raping a 32-year-old woman.

Sahitya Akademi Award-winning author Nilotpal Mrinal has been accused of allegedly raping a 32-year-old woman for 10 years under the pretext of marriage, the Delhi Police said on Monday. An FIR was registered at Delhi's Timarpur Police Station. The woman, who belongs to Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur, alleged that she met Mrinal about 10 years ago on a social media platform and they became friends.
