Actor Jeetendra Booked After Cousin Reports 47-Year-Old Sexual Assault

Shimla : Bollywood actor Jeetendra has been booked by the Shimla Police after he was accused by his cousin of sexually assaulting her 47 years ago, police said.

The woman, in a complaint to the director general of police, in February had alleged that the incident took place in Shimla in January, 1971, when she was 18 and the actor was 28.

Superintendent of Police Omapati Jamwal said an FIR had been filed against the star and investigations into the case were underway.

Police officials are likely to summon the complainant in the case as they have only received her complaint on e-mail and are yet to record her version, sources said.
