Suspected
gangster and alleged Dawood Ibrahim aide Riyaz Bhati has been accused by wife
Rehnuma Bhati of forcing her to have sex with his business associates and other
“high-profile” people. Among the people she has accused of rape in an
application to Mumbai Police are sportspersons and politicians.
In
her application dated 24 September 2021, which ThePrint has accessed, Rehnuma
has not given any addresses or mentioned specific dates or places where the
alleged incidents happened.
“I
have been trying to get the police to register an FIR, but they aren’t complying.
My application was submitted in September, it is already November now,” she
said. “I have followed up with various levels of police authorities multiple
times. I was told to give some money, but why should I spread corruption? I am
right in my place. They are the ones who are criminals.”
Reached
for comment, Deputy Commissioner of Police for the jurisdiction, Manjunath
Singhe, acknowledged that an application has been submitted, but said he “does
not have any more details at the moment”.
An
officer at the Santacruz Police station, where the application has been
submitted, added on the condition of anonymity: “We cannot disclose any more
details. We are still in the process of inquiry.”
Bhati
has a long criminal record, and faces cases of alleged extortion, forgery and
land-grabbing. He has also been named in the extortion FIR against former
Mumbai Police chief Param Bir Singh. Bhati is accused of extorting money from
bar and restaurant owners at the behest of the IPS officer and dismissed
policeman Sachin Waze.
He
is currently on the run.
‘Bhati
raped wife’
In
her application, Bhati’s wife has accused him of marital rape. She has also
accused him of forcing her to have sexual relations with his friends, business
associates, and other high-profile people. She has alleged that he would
threaten to kill their two children if she refused.
Bhati,
the application states, forced his wife to have physical relations with a man
in 2011-2012, a cricketer in 2014-15, and another sportsperson and two of his
friends “thereafter”. She claims a sportsperson and his friends “committed
unnatural sexual activities under the influence of alcohol and drugs”.
The
complaint says Bhati’s wife was also allegedly raped by a former Union
minister. The complaint says she was beaten and forced to dance naked before
the minister when she refused to give her consent.
Rehnuma
has claimed that Bhati has photos and videos of her, which he had threatened to
leak on social media if she did not comply with his requests.
“I
say that since the aforesaid opponent (Bhati) is absconding in an FIR and since
his bail application has been rejected he is having a short of funds and he is
not giving me a single penny on the contrary he is forcing me and giving me
address to go and have sexual relationship so that he can generate money
(sic)…” Rehnuma has said in her application.
She
has said she fears Bhati might kill her or abduct her sons, adding that he has
forced her to have sexual relations with 15-20 people.
“The
aforesaid opponent has indulged me into the field of prostitution for more than
15 years. I say that if no action are going to be taken against him his lust
for indulging me into the field of prostitution will not end,” she added.
