A 45-year-old realtor in Bengaluru has lodged a police complaint accusing his live-in partner of blackmailing him after she failed to fulfill her promise of marriage. The complainant, identified as Raviraj A S, told the authorities that he first connected with the woman, named Soumya S, through Facebook approximately seven to eight years ago.
