Mumbai Police Summons Anurag Kashyap In Sexual Assault Case

Mumbai: Mumbai Police on Wednesday issued summons to filmmaker Anurag Kashyap to appear at the Versova police station at 11 am on Thursday on a rape complaint filed by a female actor, ANI reported.

In her police complaint, the actor alleged that Kashyap raped her at a place on Yari Road in Versova in 2013.

In a statement through his lawyer, Kashyap called the allegations ‘baseless’. “My client, Anurag Kashyap, has been deeply pained by the false allegations of sexual misconduct that have recently surfaced against him. These allegations are completely false, malicious and dishonest,” his lawyer Priyanka Khimani had said in a statement, the report added.

On Tuesday, the actor who filed a rape case against Kashyap last week, met Maharashtra Governor BS Koshyari, demanding action against the filmmaker. She was accompanied by Rajya Sabha MP Ramdas Athawale. They had also met Mumbai Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Vishwas Nangare Patil earlier in the week, seeking security for the actor.
