A 28-year-old model has filed a FIR accusing Bollywood producer Ajit Thakur and numerous others of rape and molestation. Following the model’s allegation, an offence under sections 376 and 354 of the Indian Penal Code was lodged on May 26 at the Bandra police station.

Ajit Thakur’s lawyer has now sent a statement to ETimes explaining his client’s position. It states, “The allegations made against me are false, malicious and motivated. It is nothing more than an attempt to smear my reputation. In fact, I have evidence that indicates that the complainant was attempting to blackmail myself amongst several others and when her attempts failed, she resorted to registering an FIR with baseless allegations. I will take all the necessary legal action against her and I am certain that truth will prevail”.

Colston Julian was also named in the FIR and is considering suing the model for defamation. His lawyer, Ravina Rajpal, previously told ETimes: “It is a false claim, and we will cooperate with the authorities concerned in every manner necessary.” The case is under investigation and is currently in court. In due course, we will also investigate legal remedies, including defamation.”

According to the FIR, while Jackky Bhagnani sexually abused the girl in Bandra, Nikhil Kamat harassed the victim in a luxury hotel in Santacruz. It further says that in 2015, Sheel Gupta sexually harassed the model in an Andheri building.
