Veteran actor Jeetendra is in a fresh controversy after his cousin recently filed an FIR against him alleging that he sexually abused her. The internet was hit by a campaign called #MeToo where many women came out with their horrific experiences of sexual abuse. It is after this campaign, the woman who chose to keep herself anonymous, decided to talk about the sexual harassment she allegedly experienced. As per media reports, the incident happened when the girl was of 18 years of age and Jeetendra was of 28. She accused the Parichay actor of taking her for a film’s shoot with her father’s permission, where he then abused her.

As per the accusation, Jeetendra took her to a hotel room and apparently forced himself on her in an intoxicated state. The reports also add that she decided to file the complaint only after the demise of her parents and that they would have been deeply affected if they had known the reality. The lady now reportedly wants justice for all the mental trauma that she went through because of the alleged incident.

Since the actor is 'is rich, powerful and politically well-connected', the lady requested media keep her and her family's identity under wraps. There has been no reaction from the Kapoor family as of now. We wonder whether producer Ekta Kapoor and son Tusshar Kapoor will clear the accusations or keep mum on the subject. The official statement is still awaited from the actor's side. Stay tuned to latestly.com to know about other happenings in Bollywood and drop your view on this case in the comments section below.
