The 28-year-old model, who had filed a rape and molestation complaint against nine Bollywood biggies, has reported theft of her pen drive containing evidence related to the case, along with other items. Andheri police on Tuesday filed an FIR in connection with the robbery of her two pen drives, jewellery and a wrist watch.


An officer said an FIR has been registered against an unknown person under Section 380 (theft in a dwelling house) of the Indian Penal Code.


“In one pen drive, I had stored important pieces of evidence of the ongoing case against the nine high-profile men of Bollywood. In the second pen drive, I had stored the backup of my iPhone that I had sent for repair,” she told mid-day. “The pen drives were kept inside a pouch of branded sunglasses. All the items were kept in a bag,” she added.


While the FIR stated that the collective loss in the theft was of Rs 31,000, the survivor claimed, “The police have undervalued my belongings. The total loss is R1 lakh.” “I learnt about the missing articles only on July 25, and after a thorough search of my flat, I filed a complaint,” she said.

The rape survivor said, “I think someone is trying to destroy the evidence. One of the accused in my first FIR at Bandra police station, Sheel Gupta, has been threatening me via messages, saying how much he knows about my life and what he can do.” He’s probably suffered the biggest loss because of the allegations, that’s why he wanted revenge that bad on behalf of everyone.”

She also claimed that someone tried to hack her social media accounts as she kept blocking users sending her threat messages on Instagram. 

In connection with the sex assault case, police have made no arrest as yet. Bollywood photographer Colston Julian, Kwan Entertainment founder Anirban Blah, actor Jackky Bhagnani and Krishan Kumar of T-series are among the accused named in the FIR.
