Mumbai Police Files Complaint Against Director of ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’

Mumbai (Maharashtra), 20th June 2023: Due to a complaint made by one of the show’s actors, the Mumbai Police have filed a case against ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmaah’ producer Asit Kumarr Modi.

According to ANI, the case has been filed by the Powai Police under sections 354 and 509 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which deal with using force or violence against a lady with the purpose to offend her modesty. Despite the lawsuit being filed, nobody has been taken into custody yet.

The performer, who is well-known for her work in a hit sitcom, recently accused Asit Modi, Sohail Ramani, and Jatin Bajaj of sexual harassment at work. Her statement has been documented by the police.

The actor asserted during an interview with Economic Times, that Asit Modi had previously made unwanted sexual approaches towards her. She originally decided to ignore his comments out of concern that she would lose out on career prospects, but she has now had enough and will no longer put up with such attitude.

The actor told ANI, “One most important thing- I am not doing this for money; I am doing this only for truth and victory. They have to accept that they have done wrong to me and will have to apologise with folded hands that ‘We are sorry’. Because this is a matter of my dignity and self-respect.”
