Karan Oberoi case: Woman's lawyer held for 'staging' attack on her

According to the complaint filed by the woman, two persons riding a motorcycle attacked her with a sharp object and threatened to throw acid on her face.

Mumbai: In a new twist to the rape case allegedly involving actor Karan Oberoi, police have arrested the lawyer of the complainant woman for 'staging' an attack on her last month. The lawyer, Ali Kaashif Khan, was arrested by Oshiwara police Monday, days after the woman claimed that she was attacked by two motorcycle-borne men on May 25 when she was on morning walk, a police official said Tuesday. According to the complaint filed by the woman, two persons riding a motorcycle attacked her with a sharp object and  threatened to throw acid on her face.

"During investigation, police found Khan's role in the attack on the woman, following which he was arrested," he said. A court has remanded Khan in judicial custody, he said, adding that police will also question the complainant to understand whether she was aware of the "staged attack" on her. The woman had filed a case against Oberoi for raping her under the pretext of marriage and blackmailing her for money with her video clips. Oberoi, who has acted in television serials and appeared in commercials, was arrested earlier this month after the woman lodged a complaint with Oshiwara police. PTI
