The Dindoshi sessions court said actor Alok Nath may have been falsely implicated and that writer-director Vinta Nanda may have delayed filing a complaint of rape for “her own benefit”. On November 21, 2018, the Mumbai Police charged Nath with rape, based on a complaint filed by Nanda who has alleged Nath raped her 20 years ago. Judge SS Oza observed, “[Nanda] remembers the entire incident, but she does not remember the date and month of incident. The prosecution had submitted that Nath and Nanda worked together on the television serial ‘Tara’ during which Nath would come for shootings “in a drunken state”. Nanda has alleged Nath raped her in 1998, after bringing her home from a party he’d organised.
