Though the victim Seema Sharma (22) kept quiet for six months as the accused had promised to marry her, but when she felt she was merely being misled, Seema along with her family approached Lal Kothi police station on Wednesday and lodged a case of rape against one Salman Khan, an event coordinator. Police arrested the accused on Thursday from his rented house in Sodala.
"The victim, in her FIR, stated she came to Jaipur in January 2011 and started working for an event management firm. In later course, she met the accused Salman Khan (22) and both became friends. Later, during a party the accused drugged Seema and raped her," said Har Chand Meena, station house officer of Lal Kothi police station on Thursday.
Quoting the FIR, the officer said despite the accused being married and his divorce case pending in a court, he claimed to be unmarried.
"The girl continued physical relationship with the boy after he promised to marry her. In November 2011 when the accused failed to fulfill his commitment, Seema went back to her Rohini-situated house in Delhi but kept calling the accused to marry her," said an officer.
When the accused was informed that Seema was pregnant, he went to Delhi and after winning confidence of the girl’s family he got her pregnancy terminated at a private clinic there, police added.
Despite that the girl believed he will marry her some day. It was only after a while that the girl came to know that he (the accused) was a married man and his divorce case was pending in a court. The girl has also stated the accused took her to Mumbai, Chandigarh and Jammu for various events in the last one year.
"The victim met up with accused’s wife Neha (24) and both the women came to the police station and lodged an FIR on Thursday evening," said an officer.
Based on the FIR, the police have arrested Salman Khan for rape and illegal termination of pregnancy.
Police added the accused hails from Barmula district of Jammu and Kashmir and lives in a rented accommodation at Sodala. "We also recovered pictures of many other girls from his cellphone and questioned them if they, too, were raped. None of the other girls have lodged any case so far."
