Actress raped by businessman, she testified against him in Mumbai

An actress was allegedly raped by businessman Mohammed Sarfaraz Ehsaan, on the day she supported the allegations of two women who claimed he had duped them.

The actress stated to the police that she went through the ordeal after her statement was recorded by the Bangur Nagar police on July 27, 2016 in connection with the cheating and forgery case that was filed after Goregaon resident Pooja Sahani’s complaint.

According to the police, the actress told them that she read in the newspaper that Sarfaraz was arrested on February 2, 2016, for cheating a woman named Dipali Patil. After this, the actress began asking the businessman to repay the money he had borrowed from her and showed him the papers of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada) flats in Lokhandwala which he had purportedly bought for her two sons by selling her jewellery worth Rs4.5 crore.
