Veteran Bollywood actor Alok Nath has been booked for rape by Mumbai Police after writer-producer Vinita Nanda who accused him, filed an official complaint.
The
writer-director
Vinita
Nanda
had
filed
a
police
complaint
against
the
veteran
Bollywood
actor
Alok
Nath
on
October
17,
2018.
The
writer
had
accused
the
actor
of
raping
her
19
years
ago.
According
to
the
latest
report,
an
FIR
has
been
filed
against
Alok.
According
to
ANI,
Additional
Commissioner
of
Police
Manoj
Sharma
said,
"The
Oshiwara
Police
has
filed
an
FIR
against
Alok
Nath
under
Section
376
of
the
Indian
Penal
Code
(rape)."
According
to
TimesNow
report,
Alok's
lawyer
has
revealed
that
the
actor
is
not
feeling
well
and
not
in
a
state
to
reply
to
the
FIR.
The
lawyer
also
stated
that
the
allegations
made
against
the
actor
are
baseless.
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
last
month
(October),
Vinita
had
opened
up
about
the
traumatic
incident
on
her
Facebook
page.
She
had
shared
a
long
post,
after
which
Alok
Nath
was
accused
of
harassment
and
inappropriate
behaviour
by
actresses
Sandhya
Mridul
and
Deepika
Amin,
and
other
women.
After
filing
the
complaint
Vinita
had
said,
"It
was
not
easy
for
me
to
give
my
statement
as
it
is
like
reliving
your
pain." Following
Vinita's
rape
accusation,
Alok
had
filed
a
civil
suit
in
a
Mumbai
court
and
sought
Rs
1
as
damages
for
allegedly
defaming
him.
His
wife
had
requested
for
an
injunction
order
against
Vinita.
But
Mumbai's
Dindoshi
Sessions
Court
rejected
the
application!
Alok
was
recently
expelled
from
Cine
&
TV
Artistes' Association
(CINTAA)
in
lieu
of
the
charges
levied
against
him,
during
the
#MeToo
movement
by
Vinita,
and
other
actors.
