An eyewitness told TOI, “Karan suffered a panic attack in the police van after he left from the court. He was crawling under the bench gasping for air. He was given a glass of orange juice after which his condition became stable. He is not in a good state and people close to him are worried about his health.”
For the uninitiated, Karan was arrested for allegedly raping and blackmailing a woman on May 5 in suburban Oshiwara. The woman complained to police that Oberoi, who was in a relationship with her since 2016, allegedly raped her on the pretext of marrying her. He also shot some objectionable videos of the woman and demanded money from her while threatening to release the clips, the official said.
