Payal Ghosh had filed an FIR alleging rape on Anurag Kashyap after which he was called by the Mumbai Police and was questioned for hours at the Versova Police Station.
Kashyap has denied all allegations related to the same and has also submitted documentary proof to the cops proving he was in Sri Lanka.
According to a Filmfare report, Anurag’s lawyer Priyanka Khimani released a statement about the case.
“Mr. Kashyap has denied all wrongdoing in the matter and has provided his statement to the police. The material provided by Mr. Kashyap, in support of his statement, demonstrates that the complaint of Ms. Ghosh is an outright lie. Mr. Kashyap has provided documentary proof of the fact that throughout August, 2013 he was away in Sri Lanka in connection with the shooting of one of his films,” the beginning of the statement stated that Anurag Kashyap had proof to back up the fact that the incident never took place.
Anurag also states that the complaint by Payal was made to vilify him. “Mr. Kashyap has categorically denied that any such alleged incident ever took place and has also denied all allegations levelled against him. These sudden, belated allegations of an alleged incident of August, 2013 have been widely publicised by the Complainant for the purpose of vilifying Mr. Kashyap, irrespective of the outcome of the judicial process. Mr. Kashyap is confident that the falsity of the complaint has been exposed, not only by the evidence presented by Mr. Kashyap, but also the ever-shifting version of events put forth by Ms. Ghosh in the media.”
“Mr. Kashyap is apprehensive that now that the falsity of her allegations in the FIR have been established, she will alter her version of events in the investigative process as well. Mr. Kashyap is distressed with the false and reckless allegations made against him that have caused pain to him, his family and his fans. Mr. Kashyap intends to vigorously pursue the legal remedies available to him,” the statement continued.
“Mr. Kashyap vehemently denies any such incident, as has been alleged, and has sought for severe action against Ms. Ghosh for misusing the criminal justice system and for hijacking the Me Too Movement for her ulterior motives. Mr. Kashyap is confident that justice will prevail,” the statement concludes saying Kashyap is confident that justice will prevail.
