Anurag Kashyap sexual assault case: ‘He was shooting in Sri Lanka in August 2013,’ claims the filmmaker’s lawyer, Priyanka Khimani

Yesterday, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap appeared for questioning in the sexual assault case filed against him by Payal Ghosh. In a statement released by his lawyer Priyanka Khimani, he has denied all accusations. The statement says that Anurag was in Sri Lanka at that time.

The statement read, "Mr. Kashyap has denied all wrongdoing in the matter and has provided his statement to the police. The material provided by Mr. Kashyap, in support of his statement, demonstrates that the complaint of Ms. Ghosh is an outright lie. Mr. Kashyap has provided documentary proof of the fact that throughout August 2013 he was away in Sri Lanka in connection with the shooting of one of his films."

The statement added, "Mr. Kashyap has categorically denied that any such alleged incident ever took place and has also denied all allegations levelled against him. These sudden, belated allegations of an alleged incident of August, 2013 have been widely publicised by the Complainant for the purpose of vilifying Mr. Kashyap, irrespective of the outcome of the judicial process. Mr. Kashyap is confident that the falsity of the complaint has been exposed, not only by the evidence presented by Mr. Kashyap, but also the ever-shifting version of events put forth by Ms. Ghosh in the media."

Payal Ghosh had earlier accused Anurag of sexual harassment. Payal tweeted, "@anuragkashyap72 has forced himself on me and extremely badly. @PMOIndia @narendramodiji, 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. Pls help!"

Denying the allegations, Anurag wrote, "Wow, it took so long to try to silence me. You lied so much in this effort and also dragged other women despite you being a woman. Have some dignity madam! I will just say that all your allegations are baseless."
