Dhurandhar Actor Nadeem Khan Arrested for Alleged Decade-Long Rape of Maid
In a shocking development from Mumbai, actor Nadeem Khan, known for his role as Rehman Dakait's cook in the popular series Dhurandhar, has been arrested by the Mumbai Police. The arrest follows serious allegations made by his 41-year-old maid, who claims she was repeatedly raped by the actor for nearly a decade under the false promise of marriage.
Details of the Allegations and Police Action
The maid, whose identity has been protected, filed a formal complaint with the Versova police station. According to her statement, she began working at Nadeem Khan's residence over ten years ago. She alleges that the actor initially promised to marry her, leading to a physical relationship that continued for years. However, when he refused to fulfill this promise, and the situation escalated into emotional abuse, she decided to come forward and report the incidents.
Police sources indicate that the maid remained silent for a long period due to fear and emotional pressure. It was only after Nadeem Khan allegedly reneged on his marriage commitment that she gathered the courage to approach the authorities. Based on her detailed complaint, the Mumbai Police registered a case and have since arrested the actor. The investigation is now focused on verifying the allegations and checking if any similar complaints have been filed against Nadeem Khan in the past.
Transfer of Case and Ongoing Investigation
The case has been transferred from the Versova police station to the Malwani police station because the alleged offences are said to have occurred at the actor's house in Malwani. A police officer from Malwani confirmed the arrest, stating, "We have arrested the actor based on the woman's statement and are currently verifying the allegations." This move ensures that the investigation is handled by the jurisdiction where the incidents reportedly took place, potentially streamlining the legal process.
Authorities are examining all aspects of the complaint, including:
- The timeline of events spanning nearly a decade.
- The nature of the relationship and the alleged false promises made by the actor.
- Any evidence or witnesses that could support the maid's claims.
- Previous records or complaints involving Nadeem Khan.
This case has drawn significant attention due to the actor's public profile and the severity of the accusations. It highlights ongoing issues related to workplace safety and abuse of power, particularly in domestic settings. The Mumbai Police are proceeding with caution to ensure a thorough and fair investigation, while the legal system will determine the outcome based on the evidence presented.
