Air hostess alleges rape, says CEO lured her with job promise

A 26-year-old air hostess, who belongs to Mumbai, has registered a case of rape against the CEO of an investment banking firm in Mumbai alleging that the accused lured her on the pretext of marrying her and giving her a job.

The accused is yet to be arrested though a case under the relevant sections of the IPC has been registered at the Vasant Kunj North police station.

According to police, the accused is also a resident of Mumbai. Reportedly, the victim said that she earlier worked with Emirates airline in Dubai.

"In her statement, she claimed that three years ago, she met the accused at a function in Mumbai where the two befriended each other," a senior police officer said.

However, the woman alleged that the accused maintained physical relations with her on the pretext of giving her a good job and marrying her.

The victim alleged that the two came to Delhi in June for a holiday. Here, they stayed at a hotel in Vasant Kunj.

The victim said that he raped her several times following which the two returned to Mumbai. Once they reached Mumbai, the victim asked the accused to marry her and he refused, police said.

The victim approached the Vasant Kunj North police station last week and registered her complaint. Police said that a case under relevant sections has been registered and investigations are underway.
