Actor-Singer Karan Oberoi, three weeks after he was granted bail by the Bombay High Court, has filed a case against investigating officer, inspector DP Sonawane, according to a report in Times Of India. Karan, who recently shared his traumatising experience during his time in the jail with a leading daily, filed the case on Saturday in the Metropolitan Magistrate Court in Andheri East, Mumbai. Karan was arrested by Mumbai police last month for allegedly raping and blackmailing his former girlfriend and has now been released from police custody. The 34-year-old woman has been arrested for orchestrating an assault on herself on May 25 and lodging a false case against Karan to make her case stronger. Karan Oberoi Shares His 'Traumatising' Experience in Jail, Says He Now Wants to Fight for Voiceless People

Talking to the daily, Karan's lawyer Dinesh Tiwari confirmed the news and said, "We have filed a criminal complaint against IO Sonawane for submitting a false report against Karan Oberoi in the course of hearing of the remand application. We believe that he deliberately tried to frame Karan in an attempt to favour the complainant and is liable to be prosecuted."

Karan too confirmed the same and added, "I have filed a complaint against the police officer to highlight biased and defective investigation. He had claimed at the time of filing the report that my laptop and mobile were not seized, but as a matter of fact, it was. A cellphone facilitates two-way communication. So, one can’t just seize mine immediately and wait for more than a month to seize hers. I am trying to get justice and set this case as an example for victims like me." However, Inspector Sonawane denied Oberoi's claims and told the daily that he hasn't received any such intimation yet. Karan Oberoi Opens Up about His Relationship with Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin Actress: ‘I Wanted to Be with Mona Singh’
