According to the complaint filed by her at Vasant Kunj (North) police station, she had posted on her Facebook profile that she wanted to watch 'Sairat' movie and asked if anyone had a CD of it.

It said the the Ratan apparently messaged her saying that he had a copy. Thereafter, he picked her up Saturday on the pretext of giving her a CD of the film and took her to Brahmaputra Hostel, where he stays.

She said in the complaint that he offered her a spiked drink and allegedly raped her. He also threatened her and asked her to not report the matter.

However, the woman approached the police on Sunday and a case of rape was registered and further investigation is underway.

When contacted AISA said it has taken strong note of the allegations and has expelled Ratan from the membership.

"AISA takes serious note of the fact that Anmol Ratan, a leading activist of AISA, is facing a criminal complaint of sexual assault. He is, henceforth, expelled from the primary membership of AISA.
