A film casting director has been arrested under the charge of attempt to murder. Oshiwara police on Thursday arrested forty-five-year-old Deepak Jain for attempting to murder a 25-year-old small time actress and sending objectionable photos to her mother and relatives. Deepak was arrested after he committed the offence at the victim’s Andheri home on Wednesday night, by entering through the balcony.
Jain had befriended the victim last year. However, he soon became extremely possessive of her and warned her not to interact with anyone in the industry. The matter took an ugly turn when Jain entered the victim’s flat with a petrol can. An officer of Oshiwara police station said, “Jain poured petrol on the victim in front of two roommates when he was caught.”
