#MeToo India: Versova police books casting director Vicky Sidana in sexual misconduct case

The Versova police on Wednesday booked Bollywood casting director Vicky Sidana in a molestation case, following the complaint by actress Kritika Sharma

Sharma had earlier accused Sidana of sexual misconduct on social media. She later went and filed an official complaint with the Versova police.

In her social media post, Sharma claimed that she first met Sidana in Delhi while auditioning for a role about six years ago. She later came to Mumbai for work and had to stay at Vicky’s house as she faced financial constraints. The actor had said she felt it would be safe as Vicky stayed with his wife.

However, she claimed he took her to an empty apartment the next day and sexually assaulted her. Sidana, however, has denied the allegations.

Sidana was booked under Sections 354A, 354, 509 and 406 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
