26-year-old actress accuses ex-lover of rape

The Me Too movement has provided the courage to more and more women to bring to books the men who try to exploit them using force and brute physical force.  A Mumbai-based 26-year-old actress-model has filed a case against her former boyfriend for allegedly raping and assaulting her.

According to a TOI report of the police complaint, the complainant had met the accused, a 34-year-old actor-model, during a shoot in 2017. The accused, who is based in Noida, used to travel to Mumbai regularly to meet the complainant. He did not tell her that he was married and forced her into a physical relationship, after promising to marry her.

The complainant alleged that the accused then asked her to keep a distance from her friends and not work with any male actors or models. If she did not listen to him, he verbally abused her and also beat her up.  A police officer has stated “We have registered an FIR on Saturday under IPC sections 376 (2) (n), 323, 504 and 506 against the accused. He is not in Mumbai at present and we are looking for him,”.
