Mumbai Police on Wednesday issued summons to filmmaker Anurag Kashyap in connection with a rape case filed against him by actress Payal Ghosh.

Recently Actress Payal Ghosh levelled MeToo allegations against filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. 

Kashyap has been asked to appear before the Versova police on Thursday for further probe into the case registered against him nine days back, the official said.

The Versova police registered an FIR against Kashyap on September 22 after the actress along with her lawyer Nitin Satpute approached the police, the official said.

In her police complaint, the actress alleged that Kashyap raped her in 2013.

The actress had held a press conference on Monday with Republican Party of India (RPI) chief and Rajya Sabha MP Ramdas Athawale in connection with the case. 

She also met Maharashtra Governor B S Koshyari to seek action against Kashyap.

The Versova police last week registered the FIR against Kashyap under Indian Penal Code Sections 376 (I) (rape), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty,), 341 (wrongful restraint) and 342 (wrongful confinement).
