The Versova Police have lodged a first information report under various sections including Sections 376 (rape), 328 (causing hurt by means of poison), 384 (extortion), 341 (wrongful restraint), 342 (wrongful confinement), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code and launched a probe into the actress’ complaint.
Reacting to the charges, Aditya Pancholi stated that the rape case against him is false. “It is a false rape case that they were planning and now they have done it. I was anticipating this. This was pre-planned as I had filed a defamation case against them. It is not a small allegation, the law will take its course, I will fight out… the truth will come out”, reports PTI.
