New Delhi: The Mumbai Police is all set to question filmmaker Anurag Kashyap over sexual assault allegations against him by actor Payal Ghosh on Thursday. The cops have issued a summon to the filmmaker today.
According to reports, Anurag Kashyap is expected to appear before Versova police by 11 am tomorrow, for questioning on the offence registered against him.
‘Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi’ actor Payal Ghosh had accused Kashyap of sexual harassment on September 20.
In her allegations, she said, “Five years ago I met Anurag Kashyap regarding work. He called me to his house. When I went there, he took me to a separate room and tried to sexually assault me. He forced himself on me.”
“I request the authorities to kindly take action and let the country see the demon behind this creative guy. I am aware that it can harm me and my security is at risk. I am seeking action against him,” said Ghosh.
Responding to charges, Kashyap denied the allegations as ‘baseless’.
“I neither behave like this nor do I ever tolerate this at any price,” he had said.
