Karan Oberoi was stunned to hear the news of a rape case getting filed on his name. The actor and also a singer was accused of raping an astrologer and after Dindoshi Sessions Court rejected his bail plea, the actor approached High Court for the same. However, the case took an ugly turn when the victim was attacked by four men while she was out for her morning walk. It was suspected that the attack was staged by Karan to threaten her to withdraw her case. However, after police officials were successful in nabbing the attackers, they realised that the attack was in fact planned by her lawyer. Karan Oberoi Rape Case: Complainant Attacked and Threatened to ‘Take the Case Back’.

When Times of India got in touch with the police officials, they said, "The motive behind the attack will be clear only after the lawyer is arrested. The lawyer’s name cropped up after one of the four arrested men said that it was the lawyer who had discussed the attack with them and paid them some money. The planning was done four-five days before the attack. The attackers were given a proper daily schedule of the victim’s morning walk. Accordingly, Zishan, who is doing his BCom, and his brother Altamash, who is pursuing BMM, planned the attack while Ali rode the two-wheeler belonging to Zishan and Kurian slashed at the victim’s arm before he threw the paper scribbled with the words ‘Take The Case Back’. He also showed her a bottle threatening to attack her with acid.” Karan Oberoi Rape Case: Actor Files Bail Plea, Submits Astrologer’s Text Messages as Proof of Consent.
