Actor and former WWE wrestler Saurav Gurjar has been sent to 14 days of judicial custody after Gachibowli police arrested him at Mumbai airport on a complaint of sexual exploitation. The 29-year-old woman alleges he repeatedly promised marriage and then avoided her over a five-year relationship, including while they lived together in the US and India.
Police registered a case on August 15 under Section 69 of the BNS (sexual intercourse by deceitful means) and issued a Look Out Circular. Immigration officials intercepted Gurjar on his arrival from West Asia on the night of September 17. A magistrate remanded him to judicial custody on Sunday. The case will next be heard when the police file their charge sheet.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The three outlets report the same facts: arrest, remand, and the woman's detailed allegations. Times of India leads with the FIR language ('deceitful means') and the police inspector's direct account, giving the official case the strongest framing. ABP Live explicitly notes the allegations 'remain unproven', a rare caution absent from the other two. News Minute adds a specific timeline (living together from October 2025 to March 2026) that neither TOI nor ABP include. The core difference is one of proximity to the police version versus distance from it. The key date is the magistrate's next hearing, which will determine bail or further custody.
