Mumbai police have arrested Bollywood actor Nadeem Khan, who appeared in the propaganda film Dhurandhar, after a domestic worker accused him of sexually abusing her for nearly 10 years.
According to India media reports, local police took the actor into custody on January 22 following a complaint filed by a 41-year-old woman who told investigators that she had worked as a domestic help at the homes of several actors in the past and came into contact with Nadeem several years ago.
In her complaint, the woman alleged that the actor promised to marry her and used that assurance to repeatedly exploit her over the past decade.
She claimed the assaults took place at her residence in Malvani and at the actor’s home in Versova.
Police have registered a case based on the woman’s statement and moved swiftly to detain the suspect. “We have recorded the complainant’s version and initiated further investigation,” a police officer told local media.
Police have not disclosed additional details about the charges.
