Shiney Ahuja Case
Critically acclaimed Bollywood actor Shiney Ahuja faces the risk of a jail term of at least 7 years after a medical report confirmed that the 18-year-old girl, who has accused the actor of raping her, was sexually assaulted.
Ahuja was arrested on charges of rape by the Oshiwara police in Mumbai on Monday, after a domestic help, who was working in the actor's house for the last one and half months, had filed a police complaint alleging that the actor, who often tried to make advances on her in the past, on Sunday evening, between 3-5 pm, had called her to his bedroom, following which he gagged her and repeatedly raped her.
Initially the police could not believe that the upcoming actor, well respected in Bollywood circles and commercially successful, would have committed such a heinous act.
"But after preliminary medical tests conducted on the girl in Nagpada Police Hospital late on Sunday night confirmed sexual assault, Ahuja was subjected to questioning and arrested," said Additional Commissioner of Police Amitabh Gupta.
According to Gupta, the actor initially denied that he had raped her and said that they had sex by mutual consent but after being subjected to intense grilling, he "broke down into tears and confessed that he could have raped the maid in an inebriated state."
