As per reports, Ankit was arrested on Thursday morning (May 8) by Versova police in Mumbai. His brother Ankur Tiwari was also arrested on the charges of threatening the Victim.

In her complaint, registered with Police on May 7, the victim had alleged that Ankit had repeated sexual intercourse with her between October 2012 and December 2013 with the promise of marrying her. After Ankit failed to keep his promise, she approached the police.

Another report says that the alleged rape took place late Wednesday (last) night at her home.

Nagesh Mishra, the counsel representing Ankit and Ankur Tiwari, alleged that the Victim filed complaint to extort money from his client Ankit, who has become a celebrity now.

“Why was the victim silent all this while? When she learnt that Ankit has become successful in his career, she came to us to demand money. But when we flatly refused to pay, she filed a false complaint against my clients,” Mishra reportedly told.

“Ankit has not been in touch with the girl since one year and before that he was in a relationship with her for a couple of years,” said Mishra.

“He has been accused of rape and molestation under sections 376 (rape), 417 (cheating) and 493 (cohabitation by a man deceitfully inducing a belief of lawful marriage) of the IPC (Indian Penal Code),” he added.

Ankit Tiwari rose to fame with the song Sun Raha Hai Na of the 2013 movie ‘Aashiqui 2′.
