She arrived in Devanahalli on Saturday by bus. Adi received her and took her to a farmhouse belonging to one of his villagers in A Ranganathapura. “I reached Devanahalli around 5.30pm and he picked me up his scooter. He told me that he would show me his farmhouse and took me there. He started expressing his desire to marry me. I rejected his proposal, saying I’m already married and have a son. But he didn’t listen and started forcing me to marry him. He threatened to kill me if I rejected his proposal and pushed me into the well. He fled the spot, cursing me that I die there,” she told police.
