Shiney did not rape me!

Shiney

Indian Actor Shiney Ahuja was cuffed for rapping his 20 year old maid last year when a sudden twist in his life was announced this week. The actor's maid told a fast-track court in Mumbai that Shiney never raped her, and that she had filed false charges against him.

The maid had filed a case against Shiney in June last year alleging that he raped her while they were alone in his flat in Mumbai. Shiney was arrested following the complaint, and spent around three months in jail. Though he was later released on bail, he was virtually blacklisted in Bollywood following the incident. But his wife supported him through the trial.

The maid, who's 20-years-old, is now saying that the woman who got her the job at Shiney's house told her to press false charges against the actor. The next hearing of the case will happen on September 15.

Confirming the developments, public prosecutor K V Dighe said the court has now declared the victim as a "hostile witness", but the trial will continue.
