Ali
Blamed
The
Woman
For
Doing
Black
Magic
On
His
Cousin!
Ali's
lawyer
produced
in
court
the
three-page
statement
which
claimed
that
he
(Ali)
was
innocent
and
blamed
the
woman
(victim)
for
doing
black
magic
on
his
cousin,
who
then
did
as
she
instructed.
He
argued
before
the
magistrate
that
the
offence
was
bailable
and
Ali
was
being
framed,
hence,
there
was
no
need
for
police
custody.
The
Woman
Staged
The
Attack!
Ali
was
quoted
by
TOI
as
saying,
"The
woman
used
my
cousin
Altamash
Ansari
to
carry
out
the
attack
after
paying
him
Rs
10,000.
The
planning
took
place
at
her
home
two
days
before
the
assault,
when
I
introduced
Altamash
to
her
as
someone
who
had
some
contacts
in
the
ministry."
She
Had
Confessed
To
The
Lawyer
That
She
Had
Plotted
The
Attack!
"She
wanted
to
organise
a
#MeToo
campaign
in
Delhi.
Minutes
after
Altamash
returned
from
her
flat,
I
found
his
behaviour
weird.
When
I
learnt
about
the
attack
on
May
25,
I
rushed
to
help
her
file
an
FIR.
The
same
day,
cops
told
us
they
had
got
hold
of
the
attacker's
bike
number.
It
was
then
that
the
woman
confessed
to
me
that
she
had
plotted
the
attack."
The
Woman
Says
Khan
Was
More
Interested
In
A
Media
Trial
However,
in
her
defence,
the
woman
said,
"This
is
absolutely
false.
The
investigation
shall
prove
the
truth
of
the
matter.
I
always
had
a
strong
case
on
merit.
My
original
advocate
was
doing
a
fabulous
job.
Khan,
as
a
second
advocate,
was
more
interested
in
a
media
trial
and
in
facing
the
cameras
while
I
was
not,
therefore
I
never
came
forward
until
now.
What
his
agenda
for
the
media
trial
was,
he
knows
best.
I
only
know
I
have
suffered
in
the
bargain
for
having
trusted
people
blindly."
‘I
Do
Prayers/Chanting
Which
Is
Beneficial
To
People’
She
further
added,
"I
have
never
met
Khan's
cousins,
nor
do
I
indulge
in
black
magic.
I
do
prayers,
chanting
etc
which
is
(sic)
beneficial
to
people
and
I
have
never
harmed
anyone
till
date.
He
is
making
false
allegations
to
wriggle
out
of
the
situation.
I
would
have
not
got
myself
attacked
by
anyone
despite
having
a
strong
case
on
merit
-
even
on
wrong
advice."
The
woman's
case
(before
Ali)
was
handled
by
Sheetal
Pandya
(till
the
level
of
the
sessions
court).
Now
the
woman
is
looking
to
appoint
a
lawyer
who
was
experienced
and
trustworthy.
If
The
Second
Case
Is
True
Then
The
First
(Rape)
Case
Might
Have
A
Bearing!
With
the
attack
case,
the
rape
case
has
become
complicated.
Leading
criminal
law
counsel
Amit
Desai
told
the
daily,
"If
there
is
any
truth
of
the
falsity
of
the
second
FIR
by
the
woman,
it
is
time
stern
action
is
initiated.
If
it
is
found
allegations
of
assault
are
false,
it
will
have
a
bearing
on
the
credibility
of
the
allegations
made
earlier
by
the
woman
against
the
actor."
The
woman
had
accused
Karan
of
rape
and
blackmailing.
Karan’s
Lawyer
Says…
Karan
Oberoi's
lawyer
Dinesh
Tiwari
said,
"His
(Ali's)
arrest
will
undoubtedly
help
in
bail
proceedings
filed
by
Karan
in
Bombay
high
court
after
the
sessions
court
rejected
his
plea
last
month.
We
would
mention
in
court
that
if
a
person
is
capable
of
cooking
up
such
a
plot
as
alleged,
her
first
initial
accusations
against
the
actor
can
also
be
the
product
of
such
fertile
imagination."
This
Can
Also
Prove
That
The
Rape
Case
Is
Utterly
False
He
further
said,
"This
will
also
go
a
long
way
in
helping
to
prove
that
the
rape
case
she
filed
was
concocted
and
utterly
false,
as
had
been
submitted
at
great
length
before
sessions
court."
