The lower court had rejected Oberoi's plea noting that investigation into the case was incomplete, and hence it would be incorrect to release the accused on bail. Also Read - Karan Oberoi files criminal complaint against investigating officer, says, “I am trying to get justice for victims like me”
In his petition filed in the HC Monday through advocate Dinesh Tiwari, Oberoi claimed he was falsely implicated in the case, and that it was a consensual relationship between him and the woman. Also Read - Mumbai Police arrest woman who accused actor Karan Oberoi of rape
The 40-year-old, who has acted in television serials and appeared in commercials, was arrested earlier this month after the woman, who was in a relationship with him since 2016, lodged a complaint with Oshiwara police alleging that Oberoi had raped her on the pretext of marriage.
She also alleged that Karan Oberoi shot some objectionable videos of her and demanded money while threatening to release these clips.
The HC is likely to take up Oberoi's petition for hearing next week.
