CHENNAI: A 29-year-old managing director of a Chennai-based private firm was arrested on Thursday on charges of rape and assault.
Based on the complaint of Sapna (name changed), a 20-year-old final year B Sc student, the Kilpauk all-women police registered a case under various sections, including rape, against William James (name changed), head of the city unit of a company, and arrested him. Sapna had been working in the human resources department of the company for the past month, police said.
In her complaint, Sapna said that one night two weeks ago when she was about to leave for home, James called her to his cabin for some work and gave her a soft drink. She blacked out after drinking it, the complaint said.
Sapna told investigation officers that when she woke up, she was shocked to find herself naked. She also said she felt she had been sexually assaulted. James said he had taken nude pictures of her on his mobile phone and threatened to make them public, she said.
After the incident, Sapna said, she believed James would marry her but she was shocked when he came to know that James had got engaged to a girl and planned to marry her in May. She approached James and asked him to marry her. When he refused, Sapna approached police commissioner J K Tripathy and submitted a complaint which was forwarded to the Kilpauk all-women police.
"We searched his house in Royapettah. We have confiscated his laptop and his mobile phone to verify if he has any video clippings of the girl. The seized laptop and mobile will be sent to the cyber crime laboratory for further verification," a police officer said.
The girl would be sent to the government general hospital for a medical examination on Friday after being produced before a magistrate court in the city, a police officer said.
