An Indian model from a Mumbai neighborhood has accused Pakistani cricketer turned umpire Asad Rauf of exploiting her sexually for months after promising he would marry her, according to a NDTV report on Tuesday.
The model Leena Kapoor, in a written complaint to the police, alleged that she had met the former cricketer in Sri Lanka a few months ago after which they spent a few days together.
The complainant alleged that Rauf told her he would marry her and would also get her an apartment. She said that he did disclose his marital status and the fact that he had children but added that religion allowed him to have more than one wife.
As per the complaint, they met after that many times, including during the Indian Premiere League (IPL), after which he had, when asked about marriage, said that “it would happen soon”.
The complaint stated that when she called him a few days ago, he did not respond and around five days back, he refused to have any future interactions, allegedly saying he did not know her.
On the other hand, Rauf has denied the allegation, saying he did not have any sexual relation with the complainant.
He said that Leena Kapoor was making false accusations against her for “cheap publicity” and he was in consultation with his lawyer over the course of action in this regard.
