Mumbai, Feb 08: Rakhi Sawant, who recently made serious allegations against her husband Adil Khan Durrani, alleging that he cheated on her and abused her, has now been sent to 14 day judicial custody by Andheri court. In the video, Adil Khan was seen taken in a police van after the court sent him to judicial custody.

Durrani was arrested after Rakhi Sawant, the Bigg Boss 14 finalist, in her complaint accused him of performing unnatural sex, assault, taking away money and jewellery from her flat.

On Monday, Rakhi was seen revealing to paparazzi that Adil had left her and was leaving with his girlfriend Tanu Chandel.

Durrani was on Tuesday brought to the Oshiwara police station in the city after she filed a complaint accusing him of assaulting her and taking away money and jewellery from her flat without her knowledge, an official said.

Citing her statement to the police on Monday night, the official said Sawant (41) got in touch with Durrani (30) in January 2022 and the two opened a joint business account.

Without her knowledge, Durrani withdrew more than Rs 1.5 crore from that account in June to buy a car, but she did not object as he said he would be marrying her, Sawant told the police, according to the official.

Later, Durrani allegedly assaulted Sawant, a former 'Bigg Boss' contestant, on two occasions prompting her to lodge a non-cognisable complaint against him, he said.

As per Sawant, Durrani threatened her more than once saying he would throw acid on her face or get her killed in a road accident, said the official. Sawant has also accused Durrani of forcing her to offer 'namaz', he said.

On Sunday night, Sawant discovered that Rs 5 lakh cash and her mother's jewellery worth Rs 2.5 lakh were missing from her cupboard. She then learnt from the watchman of her Andheri building that Durrani had visited the flat in her absence, said the official.

Sawant then approached the Oshiwara police on Monday night following which a first information report (FIR) was registered against Durrani under Indian Penal Code sections 406 (breach of trust) and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), said the official.

For the unversed, in 2021, Rakhi made headlines after announcing her marriage to Adil Khan Durrani, a man she referred to as an NRI businessman. The news of her marriage took many by surprise, as Rakhi had previously been married to internet celebrity Deepak Kalal, but the two had since divorced. The couple got hitched as per Islamic rituals and a picture of their 'Nikah Nama' (wedding certificate) went immediately viral. As per the certificate, Rakhi and Adil's private nikah took place on May 29, 2022. She has now changed her name to 'Rakhi Sawant Fatima'.

According to reports, Rakhi has stated that she met Adil through a common friend and that the two hit it off immediately. The marriage between Rakhi and Adil has been the subject of much speculation, with some suggesting that it might be a publicity stunt. However, Rakhi has maintained that the marriage is real and that she is in love with Adil.
