DIG-model rape case: 'Model framed cop, wanted to enter reality show'

August 05, 2014 13:33

The former lawyer of the Mumbai model, who filed a case of rape against DIG Sunil Paraskar, has made startling claims, saying she admitted to him about the plot to create a controversy to participate in a television show.

Model's former lawyer Rizwan Siddiqui said he quit the case as he got the feeling that the case was filed for publicity.

"My client (model) kept changing her statements. She didn't share entire information with me. I got the feeling that client was filing case for publicity. So, I backed out of the case," he said.

The Mumbai Police recorded Siddiqui's statements on Monday. He also submitted a CCTV footage of his meeting with the model, corroborating his claim.
