The police have recorded the statement of a crucial witness in the Shiney Ahuja case - the maid who accompanied the alleged victim home from the Ahuja household on Sunday evening.

She is related to the alleged victim and had got her the job. Her statement corroborates what the alleged victim has told the police. It also confirms that the maid and Shiney were alone at home when the alleged crime took place.

But has Ahuja admitted to raping his maid? The police say the actor has been giving contradictory versions since his arrest on Sunday, But he is yet to give a written statement.

On Day 1, that is Sunday, the day he was arrested, the police claimed he admitted to the rape and said "these things keep happening."

On Day 2 (Monday), medical tests on the maid confirmed sexual assault. There were abrasions on her private parts. The police said Shiney claimed it was consensual sex. His wife denied any confession.

Day 3 (Tuesday), police claimed that Shiney told them he made a mistake. But maintained it was consensual sex.
