#MeToo: Subhash Ghai Is Proved Clean By Mumbai Police In Molestation Case

In a recent closure report from the Mumbai police, they stated that the allegation against the Bollywood director Subhash Ghai was concocted because there was no substance in the accusations during the investigation course. Thus, the case has been closed and on Thursday, Subhash Ghai received a clean chit from the police related to the molestation accusation against him.

Subhash Ghai is a film director that is well-known for his excellent works in Hindi cinema. The director was accused of molestation in October by actress Kate Sharma for raping an unnamed woman.

She claimed that the 73-year-old man had tried to “forcibly kissed and hug her after calling her to his house.” Reportedly, Ghai grieved towards the allegation, denied all the claims and said that he always showed respects towards women both in his life and at workplace.

After considering this recent development, the PR team of Subhash Ghai put up an official statement, saying “After police made many efforts to call Kate Sharma at police station she appeared at police station only on October 22 with a request to postpone her application and then again she reappeared on November 14 at police station to withdraw her application against Subhash Ghai and made a statement that she does not want to pursue it further for her personal reasons.”

Subhash’s impeachment occurred after the #MeToo movement was accelerated in India. The movement resulted after Nana Patekar, an Indian politician, film actor and writer, was accused of allegedly harassing the actress Tanushree Dutta on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss in 2008.

A writer named Mahima Kukreja had posted multiple screenshots earlier on Twitter, which was of a private conversation between her and an alleged victim who claimed to be sexually harassed by Subhash Ghai when they both ‘working on a film’.

“He took me to Fariyas hotel. He said he went there regularly to write. They always had a suite available for him. I was wobbly but he held me n took me to the suite. He took off my jeans and he mounted me. I was trying to scream, but he put his hand over my mouth. I was also not very lucid bcos of the drug in my drink. So I cried and passed out.”, the anonymous said.
