The Amboli police have registered a case of rape, embezzlement and fraud against a 64-year-old businessman from Andheri, who allegedly cheated his former employee into having sexual relations with him, on the pretext of giving her his property. The 40-year-old married woman approached the police when she realised that he had no intention of returning her Rs 21 lakh that she gave him when he claimed he would help her purchase a house, or the papers to it.

The man has a garments business and runs a shop in Andheri where the complainant worked for him for about eight years. She claimed that he told her he was not married and did not have children, and another ex-employee of his used to look after him, but she had since stopped doing so. The complainant claimed that the businessman told her if she would look after him just as the other woman had, and even indulged in sexual relations with him, he would give her all his property. The woman agreed.
