After the enquiry by Mumbai police in a rape case filed by an actor last week, director Anurag Kashyap has issued a strong statement denying truth in the allegations levelled against him. The director reportedly has documentary proof to prove that the complaint against him was lie, said the statement.

The director was questioned by the Versova Police Station yesterday after allegations that he raped an actor at his house in 2013. Following this session, the director has issued a statement stating that he was in Sri Lanka for a movie, during the time the actor has mentioned in her accusation.

The statement issued by Priyanka Khimani, who is representing Mr Kashyap in the case read "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. Mr. Kashyap has categorically denied that any such alleged incident ever took place and has also denied all allegations levelled against him. The "sudden, belated allegations" were levelled against the filmmaker for the purpose of vilifying him. The falsity of the complaint has been exposed by the ever-shifting version of events put forth by the actor to the media.Mr. Kashyap is apprehensive that now that the falsity of her allegations in the FIR have been established, she will alter her version of events in the investigative process as well. Mr. Kashyap is distressed with the "false and reckless allegations" that have caused pain to him and his family and has sought severe action against the actor for misusing the criminal justice system and for hijacking the MeToo Movement for her ulterior motives".
