Businessman arrested over Threat and Sexual Assault Allegations
Bengaluru: Businessman M. Kripalani, who was already arrested in a case involving alleged blackmail and sexual assault of a female customs officer, is now facing another FIR at the Halasur Police Station.
The new case was registered based on a complaint filed by customs officer D. Anthony. He is working as a Customs Superintendent in Mangaluru.
According to the complaint, Kripalani allegedly threatened one of Anthony’s colleagues over a customs-related case. Anthony stated that Kripalani was earlier fined Rs 8.50 lakh in a smuggling-related matter. The businessman allegedly held a grudge after the penalty was imposed.
Police said Kripalani allegedly called the colleague and issued death threats. He reportedly threatened to kill the officer and his family members.
Based on the complaint, Halasur police registered a case against Kripalani under sections 308(4), 351(3), and 351(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Kripalani was earlier arrested in another case involving a female customs officer. The officer accused him of blackmail and sexual assault. She also alleged that he threatened to leak her private photos and videos if she did not obey him.
The woman later approached police and filed a complaint. A rape case was first registered at Yelahanka Police Station and was later transferred to Indiranagar Police Station for further investigation.
Police officials had instructed the Pulakeshinagar ACP and inspectors to investigate the matter. Officers later succeeded in arresting Kripalani.
The woman officer also made several other serious allegations against the accused. Police said Kripalani was involved in the electronic business sector and allegedly carried out several transactions by evading customs checks.

He is also accused of filing false cases against some customs officials and collecting money through illegal means. Police believe several customs officers may have suffered because of Kripalani’s actions.
Authorities have asked anyone who faced problems or harassment from the accused to come forward and file complaints.
