Vinta Nanda has submitted a five-page complaint at Oshiwara police station on Wednesday requesting the police to register an FIR against actor Alok Nath for allegedly raping her almost two decades ago.
Mid-day quoted Nanda saying, “I have submitted my complaint and it has been accepted. The officers have assured me that my statement will be recorded soon.”
Nanda’s lawyer Dhruti Kapadia, who argued the matter in Dindoshi court on Wednesday, was quoted by the daily saying, “Nath’s lawyers had pleaded for an injunction against Nanda to stop her from making any further statements in the matter, but the injunction was not granted. The matter will be heard on October 25.” Kapadia said that Alok Nath should have been the defendant and not the plaintiff in the matter.
An officer from Oshiwara police station was quoted by the daily saying, “The application has been accepted. At present we are seeking legal advice as the alleged incident took place 19 years ago.”
This is the second high-profile case at Oshiwara police station in the #MeToo movement. Tanushree Dutta, who started the new wave of #MeToo movement had also filed a complaint against Nana Patekar at the Oshiwara Police station.
