Vadodara: A 24-year-old woman lodged a complaint of rape against his bootlegger husband’s business associates at Bhadarwa police station on Friday.
The woman living in Savli taluka told police that the accused Jahid Vaghela took a video of hers while she was taking bath at her home and used it to blackmail her. She said that Jahid took advantage of the situation as her husband had been sent to Bhuj Jail under Prevention of Anti-Social Activities (PASA) Act between August and December last year.
On the night of August 29 last year, Jahid went to the woman’s house along with his accomplice Dileep Vaghela. Since the woman knew them, she allowed them inside her home. Jahid then showed her the video he had recorded and threatened to defame her using it and also kill her children. Jahid dragged the woman to the other room where he raped her and asked Dileep to keep a watch. He raped her thrice on the following nights.
