In a shocking turn of events, the Oshiwara Police Department filed an FIR against singer and composer Rahul Jain. The 30-year-old lady works as a costume designer. She claims the event occurred in his Mumbai apartment. The musician has denounced the charges as false and without merit. 

According to her statement, Rahul Jain contacted her over Instagram and commended her work. He invited her to his Andheri apartment, informing her he would be hired as his personal stylist. On August 11, 2022, she went to his house. He assaulted her in his bedroom while pretending to show her his clothes.

No arrests have been made so far; Rahul Jain told PTI, "I don't know this woman. The allegations raised by her are fake and baseless. Earlier also, a woman had made similar allegations against me, but I got justice. This woman may be an associate of that woman".
