Popular actor and singer Karan Oberoi has established himself to be a notable name in North India television. Having become one of the most sought after TV actors, he was in for a major shock when he was arrested by the Police on May 6 for his alleged involvement in the rape and blackmail of a woman under the pretence of marrying her. The Bombay High Court later granted him a bail after reportedly paying a deposit of Rs. 50,000 in cash. Having said that, the case has taken a new course as the woman has now been arrested after it was revealed that she had framed a false case as well as staging the attack on Karan Oberoi.

The woman had also filed a complaint on May 25 stating that an attack on her was caused by two individuals who threatened her using knives and told her to take back a complaint she had given earlier. Soon after, a case was booked on May 6 on Karan Oberoi under the Section 376 (punishment for rape) and Section 386 (Extortion by putting a person in fear of death) of the Indian Penal Code.
