A metropolitan magistrate court in Mumbai on Tuesday accepted police’s closure report in a case registered against a former employee of Qatar Airways for allegedly raping an actor on multiple occasions on the promise of marriage.
The court on August 28 accepted the police’s B-summary report after it stated that the probe indicated that a false case had been filed on purpose against the 48-year-old man.
The police submit a B-summary report in court when there is no evidence or prima facie case against accused, when a frivolous or false complaint has been lodged, or when a magistrate considers the case as maliciously false.
Based on a complaint filed by the actor, the Juhu police registered a case under relevant provisions of the IPC for rape, unnatural sex, and cheating in March 2021.
In her complaint, the actor claimed that the man lured her with the promise of marriage and raped her on multiple occasions at hotels in the US and Mumbai between March 2020 and February 2021.
Further, the actor alleged that the accused cheated his wife and son by claiming that they were dead when they were alive.
The alleged accused’s lawyer, Dinesh Gupta, stated that the woman filed a false complaint in retaliation to a cheating case that was filed against her by his client.
The man, who was working as a senior maintenance officer with Qatar Airways was removed from work because of the fabricated FIR.
The police, in its B-summary report, stated the plaintiff woman and the accused were of mature age and had a voluntarily exchanged money and physical relations.
Furthermore, the woman has not submitted any evidence that she met the accused through Facebook as mentioned by her in the complaint, while no witness or material evidence has been adduced by her to state or know that the accused forced sexual relations with her and the investigation has not revealed anything as such.
The police stated that its investigation of the crime indicated that the plaintiff filed a false case on purpose, so the B-summary report of the alleged crime was filed before the court.
The complainant had been filed a protest petition against the police report.
However, the court rejected her petition and stated that there were sufficient grounds to accept the B-summary report.
