Telugu Actress’ Lawyer Is Moving an Application to Conduct Anurag Kashyap’s Narco Analysis Test
"All the accused got a clean chit in the #Metooindia movement. So it deems the accuser to be false. Why are they not punished for harassment then? Where is the truth. Up in the air. Why are those women not behind the bars for false accusations, as the accuser got a clean sheet?" the south actress wrote on her verified Twitter account. Anurag Kashyap Denies Sexual Harassment Allegations, Claims He Was in Sri Lanka Shooting for a Film
"The women posting in support of the accused know nothing about the situation and can have an opinion that the accused can't do this ever. It's like the rapist's wife saying that the husband is innocent and can never do this. Tell me otherwise," she wrote in separate tweets, tagging her opinion with #fake and #Metooindia.
Her claim over the authenticity of the MeToo movement in India comes at a time when Anurag Kashyap has received the support of several industry colleagues, including actresses he has worked with, as well as his two ex-wives after she accused him of sexual harassment.
On Friday, she had claimed on Twitter that the filmmaker has lied before the police while giving his statement. The actress demanded a lie detector, polygraph test and narco analysis be performed on him.
On Friday evening, actress' lawyer Nitin Satpute tweeted from his unverified account: "Today I have filed an application to the Police station on behalf of Telugu actress to conduct Narco Analysis, Lie Detector and Polygraph Test of Mr Kashyap to find out the truth, for the interest of Justices."
