Read the official statement of Anurag Kashyap's lawyer, here...
"In an FIR registered with the Versova Police Station, one Ms. Payal Ghosh has alleged that in August 2013, my client, Mr. Anurag Kashyap, called her to his house and sexually harassed her. My client presented himself for questioning before the investigating authority on 1st October 2020.
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.
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.
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."
Anurag Kashyap was summoned by the Versova police upon the sexual assault case filed by Paya Ghosh. The filmmaker was interrogated by the investigation team for over 8 hours, where he denied all allegations against him. As the statement suggests, Kashyap is planning to take all available legal actions, to prove his innocence.
