New Delhi: Mumbai Police registered a case against an elderly businessman for allegedly raping his 35-year-old niece several times since 2007 and threatening to get her killed using his "links" with fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and other criminals, an official said on Thursday. According to a report by news agency PTI, the woman lodged a complaint at Amboli police station where she alleged that the 75-year-old accused, who is her uncle, first raped her in a hotel in 2007.

"The complainant said the accused sexually assaulted her multiple times at different locations in suburban Mumbai after that and threatened her not to reveal about it to anyone. He used to threaten that he would get the victim killed saying that underworld don Dawood Ibrahim was his friend, while Haji Mastan, another crime lord, was his relative," PTI quoted a police official as saying.

"The complainant also claimed that the accused borrowed Rs 2 crore from her at one per cent interest rate, but has not returned the amount to her so far," the official added.

According to reports, the woman said that she allegedly received a call from the ‘D’ gang threatening her to not register a complaint against her uncle.

She further said that when she tried to raise her voice against the atrocities committed against her, the accused businessman and the people associated with Dawood Ibrahim directly threatened to kill her if she said anything to anyone.

A case under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 376 (2) (n) (repeated rape), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) has been registered, police said, adding that the case has been handed over to the MIDC police station in Andheri for further investigation.
