16 August, 2022 (New Delhi): Singer-composer Rahul Jain has been accused of raping her by a 30-year-old costume designer by fraudulently taking her into the bedroom. Rahul Jain, who is facing such allegations in the past, is once again seen getting caught in a new legal mess. According to the costume design complaint, this incident of rape took place at Rahul’s house in Andheri, Mumbai. Police has registered an FIR against Rahul.
In her complaint lodged with the Oshiwara police station, the designer has said that Rahul Jain contacted her on Instagram and praised her work. In the FIR, the woman has said that Rahul asked the designer to come to his flat in Andheri and also assured her that he would hire her as his personal costume stylist. The designer has further told in the FIR that when she reached Rahul Jain’s flat on August 11, Rahul asked her to see the things kept in his bedroom and then he raped her there.
The woman has also told that when she started protesting, Rahul Jain harassed her and later tried to destroy the evidence as well. The police have registered a case against Rahul under different sections of the IPC, including sections 376 (rape), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt to any person), 506 (intimidation). However, no arrest has been made in this case so far.
Rahul said – these allegations are baseless. Responding to this allegation, Rahul has said, ‘I do not know this woman. The allegations made by her are completely false and baseless.’ Earlier also a woman had made similar allegations against me, but I got justice in that case. Maybe this woman is related to her.
