    "The purpose of these accusations is to vilify Anurag"

  • "These sudden, belated allegations of an alleged incident of August, 2013 have been widely publicized by the complainant for the purpose of vilifying Mr. (Anurag) Kashyap, irrespective of the outcome of the judicial process," the statement further read.

  • Statement

    He has demanded 'severe action' against Payal

  • The statement added the filmmaker is "distressed with the false and reckless allegations made against him," that have caused pain to himself, his family and his fans.

    He has sought "severe action" against Payal for "misusing the criminal justice system and for hijacking the MeToo Movement for her ulterior motives."

    "Mr. Kashyap is confident that justice will prevail," the statement read.

    Payal had questioned delay, demanded Anurag's arrest

  • Earlier this week, Payal had met with Rajya Sabha MP and Union Minister Ramdas Athawale as well as Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari seeking Anurag's arrest in this case.

    She also questioned the delay in investigation and claimed she would resort to a hunger strike in case action is not taken.
