Rakhi Sawant's husband Adil Durrani has been accused of raping, cheating, threatening, and blackmailing a female student who came to Mysuru from Iran to study, the police said.
The accused identified as Mohammad Ansarul made this admission during police interrogation, ten days after his wife had gone missing. The family members of the deceased, Renuka Khatun lodged a missing complaint on December 24 last year.

In the reel, Alia is also seen brutally slamming a frying pan on her on-screen husband's skull while she says 'ab batting shuru (the batting starts now)'. Meanwhile, the character played by actor Vijay is shown crying and screaming in pain.
Justice Shakdher stated that the legal exception provided to husbands in case of non-consensual sexual intercourse is 'steeped in misogyny' and effectively conveys that only the forced sex that happens outside of marriage is rape while forced sex inside a marriage is 'allowed'.
