KALYAN: A 28-year-old Kalyan man and his
friend have been booked for allegedly drugging and raping the former’s wife and making a video of the act to blackmail her.
The survivor filed a complaint against her husband, who is employed with a private firm, and his friend at
Kolsewadi police station on Tuesday. Both accused are on the run.
In her complaint, the woman said that on August 17, her husband called his friend home and spiked her juice. She said when she was in a semi-conscious, her husband told her to have sex with his friend. She refused and he threatened to kill her. Then both men raped her multiple times, she told the police. She said her husband made a video of his friend sexually assaulting her.
When she regained senses, she told her husband that she would approach the police, but he threatened to make the video clip viral on social media and assault her younger brother. Scared, she kept mum.
On Sunday, when the woman went to her maternal house for Rakshabandhan, she confided in her sister, who told her to file a complaint. A cop said, “We have booked the husband and his friend under IPC sections 376 (rape), 377 (unnatural sex), 354 (molestation), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (criminal act done by several persons with common intention).” The couple had recently moved to Kalyan from Panvel.
