Anurag Kashyap alleges Payal Ghosh for false implications held against him in his statement to Mumbai Police
Payal Ghosh alleged film maker Anurag Kashyap of wrongful restrain, wrongful confinement, and outraging the modesty of women and filed an FIR against him. However, in his statement to the Mumbai Police, Anurag has denied all the allegations after being interrogated for 8 hours at the Versova Police Station.
Anurag’s lawyer Priyanka Khimani in her statement said, “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. Mr. Kashyap has categorically denied that any such alleged incident ever took place and has also denied all allegations levelled against him.”
She further mentioned that the dishonesty of Payal has surfaced, “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.”
As per the filmmaker, the allegations are completely false and he demands severe action against Payal for misusing the Criminal Justice system, 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. 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.”
