Actor Ajaz Khan has approached the Bombay High Court seeking for bail in a rape case after a court rejected the same. The actor accused of raping a woman under the false promise of marriage and career growth.
According to the FIR filed by the complainant, Khan, 40, who’s the host of a reality show, “House Arrest,” allegedly lured the women, who is also an actress, by providing her with a role in the show.
Rappist Ajaz Khan Seek Bail
Khan, also known as Ajaz Shafi Mohammad Guliwala, filed his plea by endorsing Ashok Saraogi, contending that the FIR and his custodial interrogation not always required for any reason.
The women alleged that Khan had referred to her to offer her the position of a host in his show, and during the shoot, he first proposed to her and later went to her home, where he raped her.
Khan misused his movie star reputation to gain her trust, and under the guise of marriage and financial guidance, make physical relations together with her multiple times without her free and informed consent, the complaint said.
FIR against Actor Oover rape cases
The FIR specifically mentions incidents: one on April 4, at Ajaz Khan’s house at Lodha Bel in Jogeshwari (West), and another on April 24, at the complainant’s house, wherein she claims Khan once more sexually assaulted by false marriage promises.
Ajaz Khan had earlier sought a pre-arrest bail from the Dindoshi Sessions Court, which denied the same over concerns of proof tampering and witness intimidation. The session’s court discovered that whilst the complainant is an adult, the individual of the allegations shows that her consent was neither free nor unequivocal as required under the law.
