A few days ago, a female doctor of RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata was murdered after being raped. The people of Kolkata are outraged by this shameful incident. Common people took to the streets to demand justice. The stars of Indian Bengali cinema and TV industry also joined it. Meanwhile, an actress has accused a top director of Tollywood of sexual harassment.
Hindustan Times reported in a report that a director close to Trinamool was accused of indecent behavior with an actress during the shooting. Although allegations of sexual harassment in his name are not new. Four years ago, an actress had filed a complaint against the director. Later that case was covered up.
Now another actress has filed a complaint against the director. This incident happened in April this year. On the shooting set of a detective movie, the director tried to get close to the actress in order to explain the script. It is known that the director kissed the actress to explain the script of the movie. The actress is a familiar face on the small screen, now working on the big screen as well.
Another Indian media reported that the actress has complained to the West Bengal Women’s Commission. Based on the complaint, the Women’s Commission summoned the director today (August 21). Responding to the call, the woman appeared in the commission, but the producer put a lock on her face. On the other hand, the complainant is reluctant to talk to the media about it. His comment – ‘I am devastated.’
No Indian media has released the name of the actress who complained or the accused director.
