This article looks like it was put through google translate but it seems to say he touched her shoulder in front of the cast and crew and apologized.  Apology not accepted and she filed a police report.  There has to be more to it than that, doesn't it?

Of course not! The onus is on Vijay Raaz. Why do we need only women to be upholding moral authority by leaving roles?

From the Title, it sounds like the films is about Vidya's character than the male actor's. So they should be throwing him out of the story and find a replacement, rather than asking vidya to step out and keep the accused right?

Wait a minute. Are people saying Vidya and the producers should abuse their power and throw Vijay out of the movie because they can? What if this is a false allegation and he is innocent? Would they dare to do the same if this allegation was made on a Superstar?

If Vidya doesn't want to work with an accused of sexual harassment, it's her choice, but she has no right to throw Vijay out of the movie because that's not her call.

Vijay Raaz to not resume work on Sherni after molestation case; eyewitness recalls incident

Earlier this week, Bollywood actor Vijay Raaz was arrested by the Gondia police for allegedly molesting a female crew member on the sets of the film Sherni. The crew was shooting in Madhya Pradesh for the Vidya Balan starrer. Raaz, who was arrested on Tuesday, was granted bail on the same day.

Talking to a tabloid, a female crew member narrated the incident. She said that the incident happened in front of all 30 crew members on the set. She said that Raaz yanked the arm of a crew member to call her attention and she lost her temper and said that this is no way to behave with a female colleague. The eyewitness, however, vouched that Vijay did not molest her.

The eyewitness also said that the Sherni director Amit Masurkar and the producers immediately stepped in to understand the situation and encouraged her to file an official complaint with the studio, Abundantia Entertainment. On the other hand, Vijay Raaz realized his mistake and apologized to her.

Director and Producer of the film have set up an Internal Complaints Committee(ICC) to look into the matter. Reportedly, Raaz, after getting out on bail went back to Mumbai instead of the hotel he had been put up in. As per reports, the production head informed the team that the actor would not be resuming work as he cannot be allowed on sets owing to Abundantia Entertainment's zero-tolerance policy for workplace harassment.
