Jindal refutes rape allegations and calls for privacy
New Delhi: Billionaire Sajjan Jindal, a prominent figure in the business world, has vehemently denied the rape accusations levied against him by a 30-year-old model based in Mumbai. In a statement, the 64-year-old industrialist categorically dismissed the serious charges as “false and baseless.” Jindal expressed his commitment to fully cooperate with the police investigation and urged the media to approach the matter respectfully, respecting the privacy of his family.
Background and Allegations
The alleged victim, who is also known as an actor on social media, claims to have first met Jindal at a cricket match in Dubai several years ago, which led to the development of a friendship between them. According to her, the incidents of rape occurred in January 2022 at the JSW Group’s headquarters located in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex. Additionally, the woman alleges that Jindal had made promises of marriage to her.
Legal Action and FIR Registration
An FIR (First Information Report) was lodged on December 13, incorporating sections 376 (rape), 354 (outraging modesty of a woman), and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code. The complainant provided detailed accounts of her interactions with Jindal, stating that they had met at Jindal Mansion in south Mumbai and had even gone on a drive together before the alleged incident took place. The woman asserts that Jindal had been avoiding her ever since.
Their initial interactions apparently revolved around Jindal’s interest in purchasing property from the complainant’s brother, who is a real estate consultant based in Dubai. However, their relationship allegedly took an uncomfortable turn, with Jindal using terms of endearment and discussing his marital problems during private meetings.
Evolution of Relationship and Threats
The complainant claims to have consistently rejected any advances from Jindal, emphasizing her desire to maintain a platonic relationship until marriage. Despite her clear stance, she alleges that Jindal took her to the penthouse at the JSW Group’s headquarters in January 2022, where the alleged rape occurred. Furthermore, the woman asserts that Jindal threatened her with severe consequences if she approached the police, and later blocked her number in June 2022.
The allegations against Sajjan Jindal have garnered significant attention and raised concerns about the prevalence of sexual assault in high-profile circles. As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the legal proceedings will progress and whether additional evidence will emerge to support either party’s claims.
