21st August 2023, Mumbai: Businessman Adil Khan Durrani catapulted into the limelight, not just for his whirlwind marriage to Rakhi Sawant but also the swift divorce that followed merely a month later. February saw Adil’s arrest by the Oshiwara police, rooted in Rakhi’s allegations, claiming Adil appropriated her jewelry and finances. With an FIR already under his name, a subsequent FIR, filed by a young Iranian woman, accused Adil of rape. Now, Adil has finally broken his silence on these accusations.
Adil’s Version of Events
Recently, Adil gave his side of the story, stating that the Iranian woman was a friend, and that Rakhi had orchestrated the entire narrative. “Rakhi brought together all those opposed to me, including this Iranian woman, whom I introduced to Rakhi as a friend,” Adil claimed. “She offered her Rs 3 lakhs in advance, with the promise of making her a supermodel in Bollywood, to falsely accuse me of rape,” he continued.
Adil’s Relationship with the Accuser
Diving deeper into his relationship with the accuser, Adil emphasized that she was merely a friend. “I’ve known her for over five years. Rakhi, leveraging her position, lured the woman with promises of wealth and career opportunities,” Adil alleged. The enticement was so great that the woman, whom Adil claims was desperate and greedy, conceded to Rakhi’s demands.
Adil’s Time in Jail
Adil’s narrative took a grim turn as he narrated his experiences in court and the challenges he faced in jail. He said, “The court proceedings commenced, and we contested that the accusations were baseless.” While in police custody, medical reports, which Adil claims showed no evidence of any sexual activity between him and the accuser, seemed to strengthen his case for bail. Adil recounted, “As I hoped for bail, Rakhi and her associates in Mysore prison warned me against speaking to the media or returning to Mumbai, promising in return to aid my bail.”
The twists didn’t end there. On the day he expected his release, Adil was informed of another FIR. This one alleged he had threatened Rakhi and the accuser, Roshina, with death by vehicular assault. He concluded, “It was only after I apologized to my parents for the distress I caused them that I finally secured bail.”
The entire ordeal, culminating in Adil spending six months incarcerated due to the case involving Rakhi Sawant, sheds light on the tumultuous nature of Bollywood’s off-screen drama. The accusations, counter-accusations, and the revelations in the saga
