Web Desk (September 23, 2017): On January 18 2017, ‘Chennai Express’ producer Karim Morani was slapped with a law suit when a 25-year-old woman accused him of raping and molesting her on multiple occasions in Mumbai. Apparently, Morani had promised to marry her, a commitment that he refused to go through with later.
A case was registered under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 417 (cheating), 376 (rape) 342 (wrongful confinement), 506 (criminal intimidation), 493 (cohabitation caused by a man deceitfully inducing a belief of lawful marriage) and other relevant sections.
On Friday, the Supreme Court denied his anticipatory bail, following which on Saturday, the producer surrendered before the police in connection with the molestation and rape case. The producer has also produced other films starring superstar Shah Rukh Khan like ‘Dilwale,’ ‘Ra.One’.
