Actress' personal bodyguard booked for raping beautician
A personal bodyguard of a leading Bollywood actress has been booked by the police in Mumbai for allegedly raping a beautician on the pretext of marriage, an official said on Thursday. According to the official, a case was registered against the accused on Wednesday night at the DN Nagar Police Station in suburban Mumbai on the basis of a complaint filed by the beautician.
FIR registered but accused has not been arrested
"On the basis of her complaint, the police has registered an FIR against the accused under IPC Sections 376 (rape), 377 (unnatural sex), and 420 (cheating), but he has not been arrested yet," the official said.
Accused had proposed marriage but later dodged victim's pleas
In her statement to the police, the 30-year-old victim said she came in contact with the accused eight years ago and in June last year, he proposed marriage which she accepted. Later, they moved in together in her flat, the official said. The accused established a physical relationship with the victim on multiple occasions, but ignored her repeated pleas for marriage, he said further.
He later started ignoring woman's calls
On April 27, the accused took Rs. 50,000 from the beautician, citing some family emergency back home, and left for his native place in Karnataka, the official said. After reaching home, he stopped taking her phone calls and went incommunicado. A few days ago, the beautician got a phone call from a woman who claimed to be the accused's mother, he said.
Accused's mother told the victim that he cannot marry her
The woman who called told the victim that the accused cannot marry her as they both belong to different faiths and that his family has found a match for the accused, the official said. The victim later came to know that the accused is planning to marry a woman at his native place on June 5, after which she approached the Mumbai Police.
