Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap has been summoned by Mumbai Police in the sexual harassment case filed against him by actor Payal Ghosh.

According to a report by ANI, the filmmaker was asked to appear before Mumbai Police on October 1, 2020 [tomorrow] at 11:00am.

Kashyap had denied the assault claims made by Ghosh through his lawyer Priyanka Khimani who released a statement, saying: “My client, Anurag Kashyap, has been deeply pained by the false allegations of sexual misconduct that have recently surfaced against him.”

“These allegations are completely false, malicious and dishonest,” it added.
