Actress alleges she was raped by businessman

Actress Padma Narayanan, who is currently at the Puzhal prison for allegedly blackmailing the businessman Pradeep Konra, claimed in a written complaint on Monday, that the businessman Pradeep Konra had allegedly filed false charges against her and framed her as she threatened to go public about their relationship if he refused to marry her.

"Pradeep asked me to come for his birthday party which he was holding at The Park hotel on July 24 at 5 pm. When I went there, he was not alone but with another friend Nirmal Kumar and they were both in an inebriated condition," she said.

Padma claimed that she was given a cool drink mixed with a drug. After drinking it, she passed out and was repeatedly raped by the two men. "Since, I was unconscious at that time, I realised what happened only the following morning," she said.

The next morning when Padma confronted him about their four-year-long relationship and demanded that he marry her, Pradeep had allegedly threatened her against going public about their relationship. She alleged that he also threatened to file a complaint with the police about the adult video films they had shot together. According to sources, Padma is soon expected to be out on bail. Further investigations are on.
