Shiney Ahuja is married to Anupam Ahuja. They have a daughter named Arshiya, born in 2007. In 2009, Shiney was arrested after police found ''prima facie'' evidence of him having raped Lajwanti, his 17 year old minor maid servant. Forensic tests revealed that her virginity had been brutally broken and DNA analysis done on the alleged victim proved beyond doubt that the semen deposited in her genitalia was indeed Shiney's. He is alleged to have cornered the hapless victim while she was mopping the floor of his Oshiwara apartment and after several unsuccessful attempts at seducing her, raped her without mercy. Shiney's wife was not at home when the incident took place. Having satisfied his lust, Ahuja threatened the young girl with dire consequences if she reported the matter to the police or told his wife. Regardless, she filed a FIR with the local police station and a weeping Shiney was dragged away into police custody. After putting up a brave front initially, he finally broke down and admitted his crime but later, on the advice of his lawyer, changed his statement to that of mutual lustful passion with the young servant. His wife ran from pillar to post but Ahuja was denied bail on several occasions by the presiding judge. After several months of incarceration, he was finally granted bail but told to confine himself to New Delhi where some of his relatives lived, pending further court orders. |
