Payal Ghosh filed an FIR against the filmmaker on 22 September and afterwards, he was summoned by the police on Wednesday. Ghosh claimed in her complaint that Kahsyap raped her in 2013.
"Five years ago I met Anurag Kashyap regarding work. He called me to his house. When I went there, he took me to a separate room and tried to sexually assault me. He forced himself on me," Ghosh claimed, adding, "I request the authorities to kindly take action and let the country see the demon behind this creative guy. I am aware that it can harm me and my security is at risk. I am seeking action against him." she said in her complaint.
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).
Reacting to the allegations against him, Kashyap said, "I neither behave like this nor do I ever tolerate this at any price." He called the accusations baseless.
