Actor Shiney Ahuja's maid, who has accused him of rape, was brought to
the Oshiwara police station at 4.30 am after her medical check up at
the Police Hospital, Nagpada. Interestingly, no lady constables
accompanied her. | 2 am: The police take the maid to the police hospital in Nagpada for medical tests

5.15 am: Ahuja is taken for his medical test
Around 5.45 AM: Ahuja is finally arrested
Shiney Ahuja might be a rape accused, but he is first a star as far as the Oshiwara police are concerned.
The
actor, who has been accused of raping his maidservant, has been
enjoying the VIP treatment at the police station ever since he was
picked up yesterday evening.
The maid, who is said to be
between 18 to 22 years old, filed the complaint alleging that he had
raped her at his residence when the apartment was empty. His wife,
daughter and parents were in Noida.
In such cases, the alleged accused is immediately sent for the medical test and arrested based on the preliminary reports.
However, Ahuja was taken for the test only at around 5.15 in the morning, a couple of hours after the victim had finished hers.
This despite reports from police sources of Ahuja breaking down and confessing to the crime (see box).
He was arrested early this morning after the preliminary reports of the vicim's medical tests came in.
The
Oshiwara police defended their move, saying, "We are waiting for the
medical reports of the girl to ascertain if she was raped.
Once
we get the reports and if it is proved that she was raped, we will send
Ahuja for the medical test. Then, if proved guilty, we will arrest him."
Said
DCP Niket Kaushik, "The girl filed the complaint today evening and we
have brought Ahuja in for questioning? We are still investigating the
matter."
AC cabin
To make things even
simpler Ahuja was questioned inside a senior cop's air-conditioned
cabin. Ahuja's family and friends, who arrived at the police station
around midnight, were also allowed to meet him in the cabin.
Confession
Said
a police official, "Ahuja initially denied the crime, but later broke
down into tears and confessed that he had raped the maid," adding that
the questioning was very dramatic.
When asked about the confession, DCP Niket Kaushik, only said, "the enquires are on and he is yet to be arrested."
Shiney, who has been charged of rape under section 376, is expected to be arrested today morning. |
