#MeToo: Alok Nath Expelled From CINTAA Following Sexual Harassment Allegations; The Actor Reacts!
Cine & TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA) has expelled Alok Nath following sexual harassment allegations. The actor says he can't speak about the same as he hasn't heard from them.
Last month, television producer and writer Vinita Nanda accused Alok Nath of sexuall harassment. The court rejected Alok's wife's plea for injunction order against Vinita. The latest development in the case is that the actor has been expelled from Cine & TV Artistes' Association (CINTAA) in lieu of the charges levied against him, during the #MeToo movement by Vinita, and other actors - Sandhya Mridul and Naveen Nishan. CINTAA issued a statement on their official Twitter account.

Vinita replied to CINTAA's tweet, "I salute the @CintaaOfficial EC, @sushant_says, @amitbehl1, others who have sent a strong message to the community that we're governed by a system which cannot be circumvented. It required conviction and courage, the EC has proved that they have mettle." - (sic)
When Pinkvilla quizzed Alok about the same, he said, "Toh accha hua... I haven't heard from them. I can't speak about it. I don't know yet." When asked whether he would respond to the same after he receives an intimidation about it, he said that he will think about it.
