A couple of weeks ago, Payal Ghosh accused filmmaker Anurag Kashyap of sexual misconduct. The actress alleged, as per reports, that he pushed her on the couch and tried to force himself on her. Anurag, on the other hand, had denied all of her claims. A complaint was registered by the Bengali actress at the Versova Police station. The FIR was registered under Indian Penal Code Sections 376 (I) (rape), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 341 (wrongful restraint) and 342 (wrongful confinement), an official said, adding that further investigation is underway, as per PTI.
And now, as per the latest development, Anurag Kashyap has been summoned by the Mumbai police for interrogation concerning the same. Payal took to her social media handle and thanked the Mumbai police for their prompt action. "Thank you @MumbaiPolice... @anuragkashyap72 has been called tomorrow at versova police station for summoning and questioning. Let's hope justice prevails....!!" she tweeted out.

The case is cold one as the said deed happened in 2013 when she visited the Manmarziyaan maker's house to discuss a project. On asked why she has opened up on the ordeal seven years later, the actress said, "I wanted to file a complaint but a couple of my close friends told me that if I said this to anyone, perhaps I will not be able to work in the film industry, and so it is better to remain silent. The Me Too movement gave me some courage. I shared it with my sister and cousin brother this month and after consulting my kin, we decided to file a complaint."
The filmmaker will appear before the Mumbai Police at 11 AM tomorrow, that is, 1st October 2020. Let's see how the case progresses.
