Mumbai, June 17
A 34-year-old woman, who had accused TV actor Karan Oberoi of rape and extortion, was today arrested for allegedly staging an attack on herself last month.
The woman had lodged a police complaint that she was attacked on May 25 by two motorcycle-borne men while she was out on a morning walk.
Police had earlier nabbed her lawyer Ali Kaashif Khan in connection with what they claimed was an orchestrated attack.
The woman had filed a case against Oberoi for raping her on the pretext of marriage and blackmailing her for money with her video clips, following which the actor was arrested by the Oshiwara police early in June.
The actor was granted bail by the Bombay High Court on Friday. While granting relief to Oberoi, the judge noted that the woman, on May 25, “orchestrated” a fake attack on herself and tried to make it look like she was targeted because of her complaint against the actor.
The judge had also reprimanded police for the way the probe was being conducted. — PTI
