Actor alleges rape; baseless charge, says Sajjan Jindal
MUMBAI: After a gap of 10 months and intervention by the high court, the city police on Wednesday registered an actor's complaint of rape and outraging the modesty of woman against industrialist Sajjan Jindal who had allegedly tried to sexually assault her in his penthouse.
"Mr Sajjan Jindal denies these false and baseless allegations. He is committed to providing full cooperation throughout the investigation. As the investigation is ongoing, we will refrain from commenting further at this stage. We kindly request you to respect the privacy of the family," said a statement issued on behalf of Jindal in his personal capacity.
The police registered the FIR on Wednesday after the complainant moved the Bombay high court saying the police were not entertaining her complaint. She withdrew her petition after police assured the court that they would register a case. The complainant approached the police in February this year.

Do you think 64 year olds with money no lust . Does money provide them with an alibi to do what they want and claim that the woman is after his money . Only MCPs are good at victim bashing . Let an investigation that is unbiased go on . In Karnataka , the local BJP chief gave a “ clean chit “ to a mutt head on similar charges just based on his gut instinct and political necessity thus colouring the investigation . With hold your judgement for now pleaseRead allPost comment
