Following the early morning attack last week on the woman who has accused TV actor Karan Oberoi of raping her, the Oshiwara police arrested four youths.

One of the four is a distant relative of the victim’s lawyer, Ali Kaashif Khan, deputy commissioner of police (zone IX) Paramjit Singh Dahiya said.
Senior inspector of Oshiwara police Shailesh Pasalwar said, “We are probing whether the lawyer has got any role in the attack.” DCP Singh Dahiya said they had tried calling the lawyer but “his mobile phone was found to have been switched off on Thursday.” TOI tried to contact the woman’s lawyer via calls and text messages, but his mobile was switched off. The woman too did not respond to TOI’s calls and messages.

The four youths were picked up from different locations at Andheri and Mira Road, DCP Singh Dahiya said. Last Saturday, the woman had gone for a morning walk in Andheri (W) when, between 5.45am and 6am, two unidentified bike-borne men slashed her arm with a paper cutter. They then threw a chit at the spot with the words “Take back the case” scribbled on it.


In her police complaint following the attack, the woman had stated, “I am undergoing treatment for depression and my doctor has advised morning walks. On Saturday, I left home at 5.40am and took an auto-rickshaw to Lokhandwala Circle. From there, I walked towards the Millat Nagar back road to reach Yamuna Nagar junction and Joggers Park, where two men on a bike began to follow me. They attacked me and threw a chit with ‘Take back the case’ scribbled on it.” She said the bikers appeared to be aware of her schedule.


Cops scanned at least 100 CCTVs in the region and, based on details of the bike they had gathered, picked up one Jishan Ansari (23). His arrest led to his brother Altamas Ansari (22) and their two aides, Jatin Santosh (22) and Arafat Ahmed Ali
(21). Police are looking for the person who asked these four to carry out the attack.
