Anurag Kashyap reached Versova Police station for questioning after Payal Ghosh filed an FIR against the filmmaker accusing him of sexual misconduct. The actress had registered an FIR against Anurag under Sections 376 (I) (rape), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty,), 341 (wrongful restraint) and 342 (wrongful confinement) of the Indian Penal Code. It was reported earlier this week that the director will be called in for questioning. Today, the paparazzi photographed Anurag making his way to the police station. The actress and her lawyer visited the Versova police station on September 27. She even threatened to go on a hunger strike if strict action against Kashyap is not taken.
Recently, Payal met Ramdas Athawale, who later announced that the Republican Party of India (RPI) would launch an agitation if Kashyap was not arrested within a week.Payal met Maharashtra governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Tuesday seeking Y-category security. Her advocate Nitin stated, "We have given a letter to the governor seeking protection, and informed him about the case. Ramdas Athawale ji also requested him to look into the matter because the police are not doing anything. He assured us that he is concerned about atrocities against women happening in the state and will be looking into the matter. I have asked for Y-category security for Payal and myself. Payal has threat to her life and I am protecting her, so I am also vulnerable from anti-social elements."
