TV actor Karan Oberoi who was accused of rape, has been back home after being granted bail in the case. SpotboyE.com was the first to inform you about his bail. On June 4, the actor was discharged from Taloja Jail. Later, the complainant, who was a female astrologer was accused of extortion, was been arrested by Oshiwara Police under section 182 (False information, with intent to cause public servant to use his lawful power to the injury of another person) and 203 (Giving false information respecting an offence committed) of IPC. Now, here’s the latest development.
Karan Oberoi’s sister Gurbani Oberoi has moved the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate Court against a Mumbai-based tantric-and-healer for allegedly practising witchcraft. The tantric is the same woman who had accused Karan of rape. Talking about the same Gurbani told Bombay Times, “Her witchcraft practices are not a new development. My brother had mentioned it in his NC, which he had filed against her in October last year, seven months before she filed the case against him. She had threatened us with dire consequences and claimed that she was using witchcraft to cause my parents pain and suffering. Such women cannot be above the law.”
On the other hand Karan told the same leading newspaper that he has suffered for a long time. While he had clearly mentioned in his complaint about that woman’s witchcraft, but no action has been taken against her till date. He also said, practising witchcraft is a serious crime in Maharashtra, and one can’t get away using the gender card. Every time someone gets away with an unlawful practice, it emboldens the others to follow suit. For the good of society, it’s important to keep crime and punishment gender neutral. Highlighting #MenToo, Karan said initiatives like #MenToo are the need of the hour.
Karan’s lawyer, Dinesh Tiwari also added, “Propagating and
promoting such theories in any form is illegal and that’s the ground of our
complaint. Besides publishing a book on witchcraft and voodoo, she has been
propagating it on chat groups and also teaching people. In fact, her lawyer,
too, admitted that she indulges in such practises and even claimed to be a
victim of it. This is good enough evidence and she is liable to be prosecuted
and punished.”
