‘Do I have to die to get the proccedings going?’ Payal Ghosh questions Mumbai Police against Anurag Kashyap

Few months ago, actress turned politician Payal Ghosh left everyone in a state of shock when she publicly accused filmmaker Anurag Kashyap of sexual harassment. 

She had accused Kashyap of raping her seven years ago in 2013 and had also sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s help in this case. Check her tweet below:

Payal also filed a FIR against the director and in her police complaint, she alleged that Kashyap raped her at a place on Yari Road in Versova in 2013. 

The FIR was registered under Sections 376 (I) (rape), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 341 (wrongful restraint), and 342 (wrongful confinement) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

In a new tweet, she has questioned the Mumbai Police’s progress in the case.

Tagging the handle of Mumbai Police, Payal expressed her displeasure on Twitter: “It's been 4 months and no action has been taken against #anuragkashyap inspite of me providing evidence. Do I have to die to get the proceedings going?”

She added in another tweet, “It's been a while and @mumbaipolice hasn't done it's best. An earnest request. It's a matter of women and we should be aware of what examples we are setting.”

Have a look at her tweets:

Meanwhile, Kashyap’s lawyer had released a statement denying the allegations levelled against the filmmaker. 

On the work front, Anurag Kashyap is currently gearing up for his upcoming Netflix release titled ‘AK Vs. AK’ also starring Anil Kapoor. Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, the movie will start streaming on Netflix from December 24, 2020.
