Bollywood actor Nadeem Khan, who recently appeared in Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh's blockbuster 'Dhurandhar', has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting his domestic worker for nearly 10 years under the pretence of marriage. Khan was reportedly taken into custody on Thursday (January 22).
The Malvani Police have arrested actor Nadeem Khan, known for his recent role in the film Dhurandhar, following allegations of sexual assault. A 41-year-old domestic worker filed a complaint accusing the actor of raping her repeatedly over a period of 10 years under the false pretext of marriage.

The victim claims that, based on this assurance, the actor engaged in physical relations with her at both her residence in Malvani and his home in Versova. The relationship allegedly continued for a decade until Khan recently refused to fulfil the promise of marriage, prompting the victim to seek legal action.
Police Investigation and Arrest
The case was initially brought to the Versova Police earlier this month. However, because the alleged incidents first occurred within the jurisdiction of the Malvani Police, the case was transferred via a "Zero FIR."
"We have arrested the accused based on the statement provided by the complainant," a Malvani police official stated. "The actor is currently in police custody as we continue to verify the allegations and gather further evidence." ‘Dhurandhar’ OTT Release Date in January 2026: Will Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s Film Stream on Netflix or JioHotstar?.
Background and Career

While the investigation is ongoing, authorities have clarified that the charges are centred on the false promise of marriage, a legal provision often invoked in cases where consent is allegedly obtained through deceptive commitments.
