Actor Payal Ghosh will meet Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Tuesday, September 29, to discuss the next steps in the #MeToo case filed against director Anurag Kashyap. The actor took to her Twitter handle and shared the information. Earlier today, the actress held a joint press conference with Ramdas Athawale, president of the Republican Party of India. She demanded that the filmmaker be arrested. She said, “I have risked my career to talk about this. It takes courage to speak about such a traumatic experience. Would request everyone to not fear and come out and speak.”
Lending his support to the actress, Athawale said, “She has dared to complain against Anurag Kashyap. Many actors came out in support of him, but Kashyap hasn't assaulted them. This is about Payal Ghosh and her experience. She will get protection from my party. We are hoping for action against the accused soon. I will be writing to Amit Shah soon. Kashyap should be arrested soon.” Elaborating further, he added that they are giving a 7-day ultimatum to Mumbai Police to arrest Kashyap or RPI will start protests across Mumbai.The actor and her lawyer Nitin Satpute on Sunday reached the police station demanding a quick probe, six days after she filed an FIR against Kashyap accusing him of raping her at a place on Yari Road in Versova in 2013. Ghosh said she met senior officials at the police station and threatened to go on a hunger strike "if justice is not delivered to me quickly".
