A 30-year-old woman recently filed a complaint alleging that actor Ajaz Khan raped her multiple times after promising her a film role.
Mumbai: Television and film actor Ajaz Khan is once again embroiled in controversy. Previously facing accusations of obscenity related to his web show "House Arrest," Khan now faces serious allegations of rape. According to the victim's complaint, the actor sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions at different locations, under the pretense of offering her a film role.
An FIR has been registered at the Charkop police station under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), along with other relevant sections.
Details of the Woman's Complaint
In her complaint to the police, the 30-year-old woman stated that Ajaz Khan promised her a break in the film industry and used this promise to coerce her into sexual acts multiple times at various locations. She claims this occurred over the past few months, with Khan repeatedly assuring her of an upcoming major project.
The woman stated that when she demanded a clear answer from the actor, he became evasive and reduced contact. Following this, she decided to pursue legal action.
Police Action and Investigation Status
A senior official from the Charkop police station confirmed that a case has been registered against Ajaz Khan based on the woman's complaint, and an investigation is underway. Police are currently verifying the locations of the alleged incidents, examining CCTV footage, and analyzing mobile call records. According to the police, the accused may be summoned for questioning soon.
Controversy Surrounding "House Arrest" Continues
Previously, Ajaz Khan faced controversy due to his web show "House Arrest," which aired on the Ullu app. The show faced accusations of inciting participants to engage in obscene acts. Viral videos from the show depicted Khan asking objectionable questions to female participants and allegedly coercing them into unwanted behavior. This led to b objections from various social organizations and political parties.
Political Reactions and Calls for Censorship
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi reacted bly to the matter. She shared a video of the show on her social media account, stating that such shows are against Indian culture and the dignity of women. She urged the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to prevent the airing of such content on the Ullu app.
Similarly, Chitra Wagh, President of the Maharashtra BJP Mahila Morcha, took the issue seriously and demanded a complete ban on the show. She stated that such content promotes obscenity and crimes against women in society.
The Way Forward and Impact on the Film Industry's Image
This case against Ajaz Khan could significantly impact his career and has once again prompted introspection within the film industry. Casting couch and sexual exploitation cases have surfaced in the film industry before, but very few have resulted in convictions. If the allegations against Ajaz Khan are proven, it could set a precedent.
Currently, the police are thoroughly investigating the matter, and society is closely watching the developments. The coming days will reveal whether Ajaz Khan can prove his innocence or if this case marks the end of his career.
