Ajaz Khan
It looks like problems are not dying anytime soon for Bigg Boss 7 fame Ajaz Khan, has now been booked for rape by Charkop Police in Mumbai following a complaint filed by an actress who accused him of sexually assaulting her under the pretext of marriage. This fresh FIR against Ajaz came just as he was already in hot water for his show House Arrest, where he asked a female contestant to enact a sex position in the name of entertainment.
The new case was registered under the newly enacted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Sections 64, 64(2)(M), 69, and 74, and further investigation is underway, police officials confirmed. According to the complaint, the actress alleged that Khan promised her a role in his OTT show House Arrest and other projects. She claimed that when the show began, he proposed to her and assured her of marriage.
The complainant further stated that on March 25, Ajaz Khan raped her at his home after making a false promise of marriage. She added that Khan again sexually assaulted her a few days later, repeating the promise of marriage.

The actress claimed that Khan assured her he would take full responsibility for her and even told her that his religion permits four marriages.
The Charkop Police are looking into the details of the incident, while a separate FIR against Khan was already filed at Amboli Police Station over his OTT show House Arrest following a complaint by Bajrang Dal.
The OTT platform Ullu had streamed the show, which has now been taken down following widespread backlash and demands for a ban. Maharashtra BJP Mahila Morcha President Chitra Wagh had earlier called the show "nothing but the epitome of vulgarity" and demanded strict action.
Meanwhile, the National Commission for Women (NCW) has taken note of the controversy and has summoned Ullu CEO Vibhu Agarwal and Ajaz Khan to appear on May 9 in connection with the charges related to obscene content and alleged exploitation.
Officials said Mumbai Police are ensuring that both the actor and the OTT platform's decision-makers face consequences under the applicable laws.
