Mumbai police books Bollywood photographer over rape charges

The Mumbai Police registered a case against famous Bollywood photographer  Colston Julian for allegedly raping a model.

On may 26, the 28-year-old model lodged a rape case against Colston Julian and molestation cases against 8 others including son of a known producer, a Bollywood talent manager and a film producer at Mumbai's Bandra police station.

The model had, on April 12, written a post on a social media platform, narrating how she was physically and emotionally abused during a work assignment.

Colston Julian had earlier quashed the accusations. In a post on a social media platform, he had written, “Dear all, it has come to my notice that a social media post and news article with entirely false and spiteful accusations, are making certain claims against me. My lawyers are following the official process and are responding to the situation legally.”

The police have registered the case under sections 376 and 354 of the IPC on the basis of the model's statement and have started further investigation into the matter.

However, no arrests have been made in the case so far.
