In a shocking development from the entertainment industry, Mumbai Police has taken actor Nadeem Khan into custody following serious allegations made by his domestic help. The complainant has accused the actor of raping her over a period spanning more than ten years, with the promise of marriage that was never fulfilled.
Details of the Allegations and Arrest
According to police reports, the domestic help filed a formal complaint stating that Nadeem Khan had sexually assaulted her repeatedly since 2015. The woman alleged that their relationship began with physical contact that evolved over time, and she maintained contact with the actor under the belief that he would eventually marry her.
The turning point came when Khan reportedly refused to honor his marriage promise, prompting the victim to approach the Versova police station to register her case. However, since the initial assault allegedly occurred at her residence in Malad, the case was transferred to the Malvani police station for proper jurisdiction.
Police Investigation Underway
Nadeem Khan is currently in the custody of Malavani Police as authorities continue their investigation into the serious allegations. The Mumbai Police are examining all aspects of the case, including the timeline of events and the nature of the relationship between the actor and the complainant.
Who is Nadeem Khan?
Nadeem Khan is a Bollywood actor who has worked on several film projects alongside notable industry figures. His filmography includes appearances in movies featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Asrani, Adil Hussain, and Sanjay Mishra.

His character's journey in the film includes dramatic moments where Ranveer Singh's character Hamza cuts his fingers to extract a confession, and he ultimately meets his end at the hands of Danish Pandor's character Uzair Baloch for being an informant.
