Music giant T-Series head Bhushan Kumar has been booked by D N Nagar Police as he was accused of rape by a 30-year-old model woman. The woman alleged in a police complaint that she was raped on the pretext of promising her a career in the film industry.

According to the police complainant,  Kumar had promised the woman, a 30-year-old model , a role in his upcoming project if she agreed to a relationship with him but did not keep his word. She alleges that he raped her thrice between 2017 and 2020, according to PTI.

As of now no arrests have been made, though D N Nagar Police are investigating the matter. However the accused denied all the allegations and said the complaint is false and malicious.

In her statement for the complaint, the woman claimed that Kumar had allegedly recorded the incident and blackmailed her, saying  she will have to ‘make compromises and do sexual favours’.

“Kumar always wanted to meet outside the office to talk freely. Even after I refused to give into any favours, he forced himself on me,” the woman said in her statement.

On the other hand, T-Series claimed that the woman had approached Bhushan Kumar in March seeking help to fund a web series that she wished to produce herself. But the woman was ‘politely refused’ , claimed the music company.

“Thereafter, in June 2021 after the lifting of lockdown in Maharashtra, she started approaching T-Series banner in collusion with her accomplice demanding a huge sum of money as extortion amount. Consequently, a complaint was filed by T-Series banner against the attempted extortion with Amboli police station on July 1, 2021,” T-Series said in its statement.

“We also have evidence in the form of audio recording for the extortion attempt and the same shall be provided to the investigating agency. The present complaint filed by her is nothing but a counter blast to the complaint filed against her and her accomplice for the offence of extortion,” the company said.

While things still being unclear, a senior official from DN Nagar police station said that Bhushan Kumar has been booked under sections 376 (rape), 420 (cheating) and criminal intimidation (506).
