As per sources, “The girl had come over from Latur to work in Mumbai. Here she got a job as Sangeeta Bijlani’s maid. Mishra saw her and somehow managed to get her number. He befriended the girl and promised her a job in Shah Rukh Khan’s house. He even took her to SRK’s bungalow once. Later he lured her to Nallasopara and took the girl to a hotel and raped her. Devastated, and with nowhere to go, the girl gathered some courage and filed a complaint against Gautam yesterday.”

Sources further added that, “The girl was inconsolable and traumatized. She has no one here in Mumbai and is the only earning member of her family. She has now decided to move back to her home in Latur with her mother.”

Gautam was arrested in the afternoon and has been charged under Section 376 (Rape) of the IPC. He will be produced in the Sessions Court today.
