Mumbai: The police arrested actor Inder Kumar Sarraf on Friday after his girlfriend alleged that he had sexually assaulted her. The Versova police said she has been admitted to hospital, where her condition was stable.
Kumar, who has acted in about 20 films and a television serial, had a troubled relationship with his wife, who lives with her mother in the same building, in Versova.He allegedly fought with his wife on Wednesday and took out his anger on his girlfriend.
The actor allegedly hit his girlfriend with beer bottles, kicked her in the stomach, bit her and tortured her with cigarettes.
Kumar allegedly went to her house in Andheri, threatened and warned her not to approach the police. But a relative helped her to file a police complaint.
The police have booked Kumar under Sections 376 (rape), 342 (wrongful confinement), 325 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt) and 506-2 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.
His girlfriend had sought help in getting modeling or acting assignments last month. She told the police that Kumar, however, physically exploited her after promising help.
Kumar lives at Seven Bungalows and his wife used to occasionally visit his flat. She, however, found Kumar with his girlfriend and fought with him on Wednesday. The wife approached the police, alleging that Kumar was torturing her and was in a relationship with another woman. She sought police help to get a divorce.
The police summoned Kumar and warned him about his aggressive behaviour and told the couple to approach a court for a divorce.
Kumar returned home angry with his girlfriend and allegedly raped her. He then allegedly attacked her and locked her in the flat. She managed to flee from the flat early on Friday. Kumar told the police that he had consensual sex with her.
