Mumbai’s Oshiwara Police unable to locate absconding singer Rahul Jain for last 3 weeks, after rape, cheating case filed

MUMBAI: In spite of nearly three weeks going by, the cops at the Oshiwara police station in Suburban Mumbai have been unable to locate absconding music composer and singer Rahul Jain and his mother and brother who are wanted in a case of rape, cheating, causing miscarriage and other provisions of the law.

Rahul Jain lives at Brookehill Towers at Lokhandwala, (Lokhandwala back road) but has been absconding for the last three weeks along with his family. All his mobile phones are switched off and Jain is completely unreachable on his last known numbers for the last three weeks.

Multiple attempts to contact him for his comments and his version of the sequence of events have proved futile and SMS messages, WhatsApp chats and messages on his social media handles on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook have gone unanswered. Hence we are unable to include Rahul Jain’s version in this story.

The police have registered an FIR under sections 376 (2) N (rape with the involvement of other persons), 313 (forced miscarriage/abortion without consent of the mother/victim), 420 (cheating), 406 (breach of trust)  and 34 (common intention) at the  Oshiwara Police Station. Jain was booked after a 36-year-old female lyricist accused him of sexually using her to fulfill his carnal needs and dumping her when she got pregnant.

She has alleged in her complaint that Jain and his family members (who are also named as accused in the case) forced her to abort her unborn child (Jain’s offspring) on two occasions.  Jain, as per her complaint, had sex with her for two years on the pretext of marriage – they were in a live-in relationship, but when she got pregnant he disowned her unborn child and threw her out of the house. She has also alleged that Jain cheated her of Rs 25 lakh, which was her hard-earned money.

Attempts to contact the zonal DCP for comment were futile.
