Billionaire Sajjan Jindal has been accused of rape in a first information report (FIR) filed at the Bandra Kurla Complex Police Station in Mumbai.

According to the FIR, the complainant claims that the alleged incident occurred in January 2022. The complainant first submitted a written complaint in February this year and then approached the court, which directed the police to register the FIR against Jindal, who is also the chairman and managing director of the JSW Group. Moneycontrol has reviewed a copy of the FIR.

The complainant told CNBC-TV18, “I approached the police on February 16, 2023. They barely scribbled down a rough statement…No FIR was filed... Finally, on December 5, 2023, I filed a writ petition.’

The FIR was registered on December 13, 2023, a day after the court order. Mumbai Police, however, deny any delay in registering the FIR.

Based on the complainant’s statements, Jindal has been booked under several IPC sections, including 376 and 354.

Moneycontrol has reached out to JSW Group regarding these allegations. A response is awaited. This story will be updated when a response is received or as further developments take place.
