An FIR has been lodged by the Mumbai Police against Anurag Kashyap on September 22 after the actress Payal Ghosh along with her lawyer Nitin Satpute approached him.

Actress had accused Kashyap of sexual misconduct on September 20. In her complaint, she said that in August 2013, the filmmaker called her to his flat located at Yari road, Andheri, Mumbai on the pretext of giving her work in his movie. Kashyap then allegedly pushed her onto a sofa and put his hand on her mouth so that she couldn’t scream for help and sexually assaulted her.

The actress said that I request the authorities to take action in this matter so that the country can know the truth. I also know that it can harm me and my safety is in danger. After the allegations made by the actress, Kashyap gave his clarification through social media. Kashyap has repeatedly dismissed these allegations made by the actress after several tweets. He had said that it is an attempt to tarnish his reputation.
