Film Producer Karim Morani on Saturday surrendered before the police in connection with a molestation and rape case.
Earlier on Friday, the Supreme Court denied his anticipatory bail. Furthermore, the Hyderabad High Court of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, on September 5, had held as valid the lower court's order to cancel Morani's anticipatory bail on grounds of concealment of the fact that he has been facing criminal trial in the 2G scam case and was in jail for several months.
A case was registered against Morani on January 18 for raping a woman on the promise of marriage. The woman, aged around 25, lodged a complaint with Hayathnagar Police. She accused Morani of raping her on different occasions in Mumbai, with false marriage promises.
The alleged incident took place during 2015, following which, 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.
Karim Morani is known for producing films like 'Chennai Express,' 'Dilwale,' 'Ra.One' and others.
