Anupam Ahuja: Even a woman can rape a man

In spite of the mounting evidence against Shiney Ahuja who has allegedly raped his 18 year old maid, his wife refuses to believe that he has committed the heinous crime. We attended the press conference held yesterday, where she defended her husband.

“He is being framed,” she said, adding, “I don’t know why he is being framed and by whom.”

“I trust my husband and he is incapable of committing such a heinous crime. This is not blind love speaking, I have known him for fifteen years. He does not drink or smoke and he doesn’t attend parties. I am proud to be Mrs. Shiney Ahuja,” said the wife.

She hasn’t met him since he was arrested on Sunday though she saw him at court. Anupam even refuses to believe the test results which are against Shiney as they prove he raped his 18 year old maid. She said, “Who has seen these tests and how can they be trusted? I do not believe what is appearing in the papers. Every paper has a different story. They said that I was overseas with my daughter which I obviously wasn’t.”

She said that she respects and has complete faith in the Indian judiciary which will prove her husband is innocent. She also added that this case has to be fought in court and not in the media. She went on to say that “even a woman can rape a man.”

When asked what she would do if her husband was proven guilty, she asked, “Can the sun rise from the west? Then how can my husband be guilty?”

She also said that all of Bollywood is supporting her and husband, as she has received messages from people in the industry and “everyone knows he is innocent.”

Shiney has been framed, says wife

Bollywood actor Shiney Ahuja's wife Anupama on Wednesday (June 17, 2009) said he was being framed in the rape case involving his domestic help and added she had no qualms in saying she is "Mrs. Shiney Ahuja".

Speaking to a large crowd of mediapersons, Anupam said she doesn't know who is behind the alleged frame-up, but expected the truth to come out soon.

Maintaining that she would not speculate or the motives, she said: "But it is hundred percent a frame-up.

"I don't know why he is being framed up, maybe because he is a celebrity or because he is a soft target," said Anupama who has known Shiney for 15 years.

"The police are doing their duty and the matter has to be proved in the court of law. I am confident that the truth will come out in the court soon," she added.

Rubbishing media reports that Shiney had confessed to raping his teenaged maid, Anupama said this was a wild speculation without basis.

"What will you believe? Every day there are different versions of the same thing. But truth has only one version. Truth is universal and it cannot have multiple versions. The truth is that my husband is absolutely innocent, and truth will win," Anupama said.

After the maid complained to police on Sunday evening and Shiney was detained, both of them have undergone medical tests in a government hospital. On Wednesday, DNA samples taken by forensic experts from clothes and other personal belongings of the actor and the victim were sent for tests.

When asked about the medical reports of the victim which allegedly confirmed that the teenage girl had been raped, Anupama said: "Nobody has seen medical reports. Let the court decide. They (police) are doing their job and I don't have any problem with them. I have full faith in our judicial system and I am hundred percent sure that Shiney will walk out innocent."

Aked if she had met the actor in the Andheri police station lock-up, Anupama said she did not need to meet him to know the truth.

"Yes, I have seen him in court, I looked in his eyes and I knew the truth. I don't have to meet him to know what he said. There is a legal system and through proper channels I have learnt that he has not confessed."

To a question, Anupama said she is proud to be Shiney's wife and that he has been a good husband, good father and a good life partner.

"I am not a girl in love with him blindly, I know him for 15 years, he has no vices... doesn't drink or smoke and comes home regularly," she said.

Shiney was arrested on Sunday night on charges of raping his domestic help and remanded to police custody till June 18.

The victim had been working with him for the past one year. She has accused him of repeatedly raping her.
