Chennai Express producer Karim Morani has woken up to some very bad news. The producer has been booked for the rape of a 25 year old Delhi-based woman under IPC sections 376 (rape), 342 (wrongful confinement), 417 (cheating), 506 (criminal intimidation), 493 (cohabitation caused by a man deceitfully inducing a belief of lawful marriage). She lodged a police complainant at the Hayathnagar Police Station and alleged that she was raped by Morani on multiple occasions and that he had also promised to marry.
In a statement to the media, DCP Tafseer Iqubal confirmed the news.
She accused Morani of raping her on different occasions in Mumbai and here by promising to marry her. The alleged incident took place during 2015.
Morani’s spokesperson has come out and slammed these allegations.
The complaint is absolutely false and bogus with the sole intention of tarnishing Mr Morani’s reputation and image. Mr Morani will be taking appropriate steps in accordance with law to demonstrate that complaint is malafide.He is truthful and innocent and has full faith in the judiciary and is ready and willing to co-operate with the authorities to the fullest extent.
Uh oh.
