Mukesh
(33)
was
booked
in
2013.
According
to
reports,
the
woman
told
the
court
that
on
December
2,
2012,
Mukesh,
who
was
in
charge
of
scheduling
on
sets,
had
told
her
to
come
for
shooting
at
7.30
AM
in
Jogeshwari.
Mukesh
had
told
her
that
a
bus
would
pick
her
up,
but
she
saw
him
present
at
the
location
in
a
black
pulsar
bike.
He
insisted
that
she
ride
with
him
to
the
studio,
as
the
bus
was
late.
When
they
reached
the
studio,
he
raped
her
in
one
of

same
to
anyone.

husband
about
the
harassment
but
didn't
disclose

court,
while
holding
Mukesh
guilty,
considered
the
testimony
of
a
sweeper,
who
had
seen
him
entering
the
make-up
room,
where
he
raped
the
victim.
The
court
also
relied
upon
the
register,
in
which
Mishra
and
the
victim,
had
signed
before
entering
the
studio."
The
victim
identified
the
accused
in
the
court
and
revealed
that
she
didn't
report
the
matter
earlier,
as
she
feared
her
career
and
reputation
would
be
harmed.
She
also
feared
her
daughter's
safety.
