Delhi shocker: Elite international shooter accuses trainer of drugging, rape and blackmail

NEW DELHI: An elite international shooter has accused her mental conditioning trainer in Jhajjar of drugging and raping her and then blackmailing her with videos.

While an FIR was registered based on the shooter's complaint, police said they had also received a complaint from the trainer, accusing some of the shooter's family members of kidnapping and confining him and forcing him into unnatural sex. An FIR against the shooter's family members has also been filed.

DCP Bahadurgarh Mayank Mishra confirmed the FIRs to TOI on Friday and said both complaints were received on May 20, within an hour of each other. "In one case, the shooter has alleged rape, blackmail and mental harassment. The other incident relates to a monetary dispute the trainer had with the shooter's family. Both cases are under investigation," Mishra said.

In his complaint, the trainer alleged he was abducted on April 29 by several individuals, kept in confinement for nearly 20 days, subjected to unnatural sexual acts, and robbed of his belongings before being abandoned near a toll plaza close to Asaudha on May 17.

"Around an hour after this complaint, a counter complaint was filed by the shooter at the women's police station in Jhajjar, alleging rape and blackmail through videos and photographs, as well as extortion. The complaint named only the trainer," a source said.
