Controversies

On 25 April 2014, Kumar was arrested by the Versova police, after a 22 years old female model and aspiring actress registered a FIR alleging that he had raped and assaulted her with a promise of role in movies. He claimed it was a consensual relationship and she was seeking revenge after he ended the fling and went back to his wife. People of Bollywood distanced themselves from him and he was left with no friends, money or career when his daughter was only 15 months old. He was charged under sections 376 (rape), 324 (causing grievous hurt) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code. Under the Indian law even the consensual sex in long-term fling can be claimed as rape by the woman, as the law says "consensual sex is rape when a man knows that he is not the husband of woman", which High Court observed is misused as a form of revenge by the jilted female lover to accuse the men of rape.[27] On 9 May, the police asserted that the medical reports supported that the woman had been raped as well as assaulted. Kumar denied the allegations saying that he had had a consensual relationship with the woman. His wife Pallavi defended him fiercely in public with statement that he slipped by having a consensual fling and during two days during which the woman accused him of rape the claimant was freely moving in and out of her apartment alone in cheerful mood to order food and buy alcohol to party at home with Inder. Inder apologized for leaving his wife for a short fling and he returned to his family.[28] Subsequent to that, Kumar was granted bail on 10 June. Woman who accused him was arrested by police on 1st August 2014 in an unrelated case for robbing her sister's residence in the same locality of jewellery worth INR 10 lakh.[29][30][31][32]

Death

On 28th July 2017, Inder Kumar died after suffering a cardiac arrest at his residence in Four Bungalows neighborhood of Andheri in Mumbai around 12.30 am and he was officially announced dead by 2 am. He was cremated in Yari Road Cemetery around 6 pm.[33][34]
