Payal Ghosh asks, 'Do I have to die to get proceedings going?' over Anurag Kashyap case
'It's been four months and no action has been taken against Anurag Kashyap," Payal Ghosh wrote on her Twitter handle on Monday.
Payal Ghosh on Monday wrote that it's been a while since Mumbai Police took action against filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. Mumbai Police in September registered an FIR against filmmaker Anurag Kashyap after actress Payal Ghosh accused him of allegedly raping her in 2013. The FIR was registered under Indian Penal Code Sections 376 (I) (rape), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty,), 341 (wrongful restraint) and 342 (wrongful confinement).
In her police complaint, the actress alleged that Kashyap raped her at a place on Yari Road in Versova in 2013. Though the statement of both the celebrities was recorded in the case, there has been no update on the case yet.
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 proccedings going ?
