Section
375
has
been
getting
rave
reviews
from
the
movie-goers.
Amid
all
the
praises,
writer
of
the
movie,
Manish
Gupta
says
that
the
film
is
inspired
by
actor
Shiney
Ahuja's
rape
case.
He
told
The
Quint,
"It
is
absolutely
inspired
by
the
Shiney
Ahuja
case
because
I
knew
Shiney
personally.
This
was
in
2009.
In
2009,
I
was
supposed
to
do
a
film
with
Shiney.
It
was
supposed
to
be
a
film
on
the
gangster
Charles
Sobhraj.
So
I
used
to
visit
Shiney
at
his
residence
in
Oshiwara
and
his
wife
Anupam.
He
added,
"She
was
his
manager,
so
I
used
to
interact
with
her.
And
now
there
was
this
maid,
a
very
young
maid
in
the
house.
She
used
to
serve
me
water,
etc.
One
evening,
I
just
heard
that
Shiney
has
been
arrested
for
raping
that
girl.
I
was
shocked.
I
rushed
to
the
police
station
-
the
Oshiwara
police
station."
Manish
further
revealed
that
he
had
met
the
DCP,
and
the
latter
had
told
him
he
is
not
sure
if
it
was
consensual
or
if
it
was
rape.
When
Manish
asked
the
DCP
to
let
Shiney
go,
the
DCP
told
him,
"No
he
is
in
custody.
I'm
bound
by
the
law,
that's
the
law.
I
have
to
obey
the
law
so
I'm
not
sure
whether
the
sex
is
consensual
or
forced,
but
I
have
to
keep
him
under
custody."
Manish
also
revealed
that
he
had
also
read
the
charge
sheet
of
the
case
and
had
read
the
survivor's
statement.
Manish
reveals
that
she
had
described
in
minute
details
about
what
had
happened
with
her.
Manish
asserts
that
it
was
pretty
scary,
the
way
she
had
described
her
ordeal
and
her
statement
also
seemed
true
to
him.
At
that
point
in
time,
Manish
also
thought
the
girl
wasn't
lying!
He
concluded
by
saying,
"Now
I
didn't
know
what
to
believe.
On
one
side
was
Anupam
who
is
a
woman
and
her
husband
has
been
accused
of
rape.
Her
life
is
devastated
even
if
it
was
consensual
sex.
On
the
other
hand,
there
is
this
girl
who
has
been
raped,
exploited
so
it
was
rather
disturbing
for
me.
And
that's
how
the
germ
of
the
movie
came.
But
yes
there
are
other
similar
cases
to
that
of
Shiney's
that
were
source
material
for
me."
