A 51-year-old former aeronautical engineer associated with a well-known foreign airlines, Qatar airways, has now been exonerated by the Mumbai police in a rape case filed against him in 2021. The complainant had accused Vinod Dixit of multiple rapes in India and in the USA. A Lookout Circular (LOC) had been issued against him, as he was residing in Qatar. After spending a month in jail, he was granted bail by the court in 2021. However, the police discovered that the woman’s allegations were false. The police found evidence indicating that she was with an escort services firm, and her contact information and profile were on a website for paid sexual services.
Talking to mid-day over the phone from Ethiopia, Dixit described the hell he went through. “I cannot fully express the trauma I’ve endured. This woman went by multiple names, but later claimed to be Yamini Rawal, the niece of a celebrity. I not only lost my job but also tragically lost my mother. I returned to India from Delhi, unaware of the case, only to be arrested at the Delhi airport. Despite having a clear record and chat evidence, the police didn’t verify before arresting me. The police then transported me to Mumbai, where I spent nearly 45 days in jail for a crime I did not commit. My family’s life was shattered,” said Dixit.
