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.
