Actor Nadeem Khan who recently appeared in Aditya Dhar‘s Dhurandhar has been arrested by the Mumbai Police. He is accused of raping his domestic help over a period of more than ten years. The case has shocked many.
Media reports say he promised to marry her and used that promise to build trust. Under this pretext he allegedly raped her many times. These incidents took place at her Malvani home and at his house in Versova.
A PTI report said Nadeem Khan was arrested on January 22 2026. He is now in police custody. Investigators are questioning him as part of the ongoing probe.
The woman said she worked as domestic help for actors. She met Nadeem several years ago and their relationship grew over time. She later realised that his promise of marriage was not genuine.
In India a sexual relationship under the pretext of marriage is a crime if the promise was false from the start. When Nadeem did not marry her she went to the Versova police station to file a complaint.
Since the first alleged assault happened in Malvani the case was moved to Malad’s Malvani Police Station. Police are now handling the investigation from there. They are also collecting further evidence.
In Dhurandhar Namdeem plays the cook of Rehman Dakait. He is also set to appear in Vadh 2 with Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta. The case has now cast a shadow over his upcoming work.
