The police complaint states that the woman first met Nadeem in 2015 and that they grew close over time. She has claimed that he frequently had Physical contact with her at both her home and Nadeem’s Versova home, with a promise to marry her. She thought he would marry her, so she kept up the connection for almost ten years. But when he later declined, she went to the Versova police and lodged a case earlier this month.

Meanwhile, a police officer said, “Since the alleged physical relationship took place for the first time at the complainant’s house within the jurisdiction of Malvani police, and the victim resides in that area, Versova Police transferred the case on zero FIR to Malvani police.”
