Karim Morani Raped Me Multiple Times, Promised Marriage: Claims Woman In Police Complaint

Karim Morani, one of Bollywood’s most influential producers and event organisers, has been arrested in Hyderabad after an FIR was filed against him.

According to reports, the complainant has accused Morani of rape and blackmail.

Now, PTI has reported that the complainant is a Delhi-based woman who has accused the producer of raping her on promise of marriage.

The woman, aged around 25, lodged a complaint with Hayathnagar Police under Rachakonda police commissionerate last week alleging that Morani had "raped" her in Mumbai and at a Hyderabad film studio in 2015, DCP (LB Nagar Zone) Tafseer Iqubal told PTI.

"She accused Morani of raping her on different occasions in Mumbai and here by promising to marry her. The alleged incident took place during 2015," the senior police officer said, adding "We have taken up the investigation."

Following the complaint a case under IPC sections 417 (cheating), 376 (rape) 342 (wrongful confinement), 506 (criminal intimidation), 493 (cohabitation caused by a man deceitfully inducing a belief of lawful marriage) and other relevant sections of IPC has been filed, the DCP said.

At the time of going online, Morani’s spokesperson sent us a text defending him.

"The complaint is absolutely false and bogus with the sole intention of tarnishing Mr Morani's reputation and image. Mr Morani will be taking appropriate steps in accordance with law to demonstrate that complaint is malafide. He is truthful and innocent and has full faith in the judiciary and is ready and willing to co-operate with the authorities to the fullest extent," read the statement.

Let’s wait and watch what happens next!
