Bengali
television
actress
Rupanjana
Mitra
has
made
an
allegation
of
sexual
misconduct
against
Bengali
filmmaker
Arindam
Sil.
Sharing
her
MeToo
story,
Rupanjana
alleged
that
Arindam
made
inappropriate
moves
on
her
after
calling
her
to
his
office
to
discuss
a
script.
Arindam
has
denied
the
allegation.
Rupanjana
came
forward
with
her
MeToo
story
while
speaking
to
ABP
digital.
Narrating
the
incident,
she
said
that
Arindam
had
called
her
to
his
office
to
read
out
the
script
of
the
first
episode
of
Bhumikanya
but
there
was
no
one
in
his
office,
when
she
reached
there
at
5
PM.
This
was
a
few
days
before
Durga
Puja.
She
shared
that
she
had
an
uncanny
feeling
while
in
his
office.
She
continued,
"Suddenly
he
got
up
from
his
seat
and
started
moving
his
hand
over
my
head
and
back.
It
was
only
him
and
me
in
his
office.
I
was
feeling
scared
that
I
would
probably
get
raped
now
and
desperately
praying
for
someone
to
enter
the
room.
After
a
while
I
could
not
take
it
anymore
and
firmly
asked
him
to
speak
to
me
about
the
script.
He
perhaps
understood
that
I
was
not
that
kind
of
woman
who
would
give
in
to
his
tricks.
He
suddenly
entered
the
director
mode
and
started
explaining
the
script
to
me
and
within
five
minutes
his
wife
entered
the
office."
She
further
shared
that
she
broke
down
after
coming
out
of
his
office.
Explaining
why
she
hadn't
come
forward
with
the
allegation
until
now,
she
said
that
she
was
bound
by
contract
with
the
channel
in
question.
Denying
this,
Arindam
said,
"This
is
probably
a
political
stunt.
I
don't
know
why
she
is
saying
all
this.
We
are
old
friends.
The
day
she
is
referring
to,
she
texted
me
after
leaving
my
office
saying
'I
am
so
excited'.
I
still
have
the
text
with
me
and
can
show
it.
Why
would
she
text
someone
who
has
behaved
inappropriately
with
her?
She
is
lying."
