In December 2021, the woman, an ex-beauty pageant winner, said she had met Jindal at an event in Jaipur where Jindal allegedly insisted meeting in a hotel room. He, the woman alleged, called her with names like “babe” and “baby”.
“Jindal displayed his romantic inclinations, assured her full privacy in a hotel room and even offered his credit card details for personal use which she declined,” according to news agency IANS.
Her complaint further alleged that on December 24, 2021, Jindal booked a suite at a five-star hotel in Bandra west, Mumbai, in her name.
They met and Jindal reportedly shared his marital problems, then he allegedly hugged the victim, and attempted to kiss her, but she spurned his overtures.
Later, Jindal purportedly asked her to send him her revealing photos but she ignored and he also tried to lure her with offers of a bungalow, car and business help.
The woman said that the businessman expressed her sexual desires to which she said that it is only possible after marriage.
After some more meetings at his office in BKC, Jindal allegedly forced her to have oral sex in the bathroom of his office.
The woman doctor said she felt traumatised by his conduct, sexual exploitation causing great mental and emotional agony, resulting in her filing the complaint in February, after which the accused attempted to dissuade her with offers of money to withdraw the case.
