An Indian film producer was due to appear in court on Wednesday after his arrest for allegedly raping an aspiring actress whom he had promised a role in his next movie, police said<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Ramesh Singh, 49, was detained on Tuesday after the woman complained to police in Mumbai about the alleged sexual assault<\/strong>, according to a police official at Oshiwara police station in the city’s north.<\/p>\n

“He had promised her a role in his upcoming movie, so he called her to read out the script. He showed her the script and locked the room,” said the policeman on condition of anonymity. <\/p>\n

“He told her to sit on the bed as there was a ‘bed scene’ and that’s when she got spooked. She ran into the bathroom and locked the door. He broke open the door and she said he then raped her.” <\/p>\n

The Indian Express said Singh was a Marathi-language film producer<\/strong>, as opposed to working in Hindi-speaking Bollywood which dominates the Mumbai movie industry. <\/p>\n

Sexual crimes against Indian women have been in the spotlight over the past month<\/strong>, since a 23-year-old student was gang-raped and murdered on a bus in the capital New Delhi in a case that has shocked the nation. <\/p>\n

The crime sparked nationwide protests expressing outrage over the worrying numbers of sexual assaults and calling for tougher laws to punish rapists.<\/p>\n
