Anurag Kashyap releases a press statement via his lawyer Priyanka Khimani on allegations of sexual assault against him by Payal Ghosh. The full press release shared by the actor and filmmaker on Instagram reads as, `These allegations are completely false, malicious and dishonest. It is sad that a social movement as important as the #MeToo movement has been co-opted by vested interests and reduced to a mere tool for character assassination. Fictitious allegations of this nature seriously undermine movement and seek to unconscionably trade upon the pain and trauma of the actual victims of sexual harassment and abuse. My client has been fully advised of his rights and remedies in law and intends to pursue them to the fullest extent.` Check out his press release post here -
