Shakib Khan speaks out about rape allegations 

Shakib Khan has spoken up about allegations that tie him to incidents of sexual misconduct and even rape.

Speaking to The Daily Star about the situation, Shakib said, "Is this a very simple matter? That a case will be filed against me in Australia and I would be able to return home so easily? After returning to Bangladesh, I went to Australia again. No one in Australia's administration seems to have any idea about these allegations. This Rahmat Ullah person is trying to harass me falsely. He is a fraud. What he is showing as the alleged case number is actually the event number. Everything will be cleared within the next couple of days."

A few days ago, a person named Rahmat Ullah filed a written complaint against Shakib Khan with three film societies of Bangladesh. Among the complaints was the allegation of sexual misconduct by Shakib Khan against an Australian woman, who was a co-producer on the film, "Operation Agneepath".

Earlier today (Sunday), in the afternoon, Shakib Khan went to the Detective Branch, of the Metropolitan Police office, to lodge a complaint against Rahmat Ullah. Yesterday, the Gulshan police station did not accept his case and instead advised him to file a case in court.
