Actor Nadeem Khan, last seen in the film Dhurandhar, has reportedly been arrested in connection with allegations of repeatedly raping a domestic worker over nearly a decade. The victim, a 41-year-old domestic worker, claims that Khan lured her with the false promise of marriage.
According to a report by English daily, Mid-day said, the complainant had previously worked in the homes of several actors before coming into contact with Khan. In her statement to police, she said she first met the actor in 2015, and the two gradually became close.
The victim alleged that Khan repeatedly engaged in physical relations with her at both her home and his residence in Versova, under the assurance that he would marry her. The relationship reportedly continued for nearly 10 years. She approached the police after Khan refused to marry her.
According to the police, as per the same report, “since the alleged physical relationship took place for the first time at the complainant’s house within the jurisdiction of Malvani police, and the victim resides in that area, Versova Police transferred the case on zero FIR to Malvani police”
