Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap was questioned for almost 8 hours at the Versova Police station. He was interrogated in connection to the FIR lodged against him by Payal Ghosh, who levelled sexual assault allegations against him. Today, Kashyap’s lawyer released an official statement which stated that the director has provided evidence of him being out of the country when the incident took place. After Anurag Kashyap’s lawyer releases a statement, Payal Ghosh reacts. She claims that Kashyap has lied in his statement before the police and demands a lie detector test to be conducted. Taking to her Twitter, Payal wrote, Mr. Kashyap has lied before police in his statement.. My Lawyer is moving an application to conduct Narco Analysis, Lie Detector & Polygraph Test of Mr. Kashyap to find out the truth. Today application will be filed to the police station, for the interest of Justice,” Payal had shared on Twitter.

The filmmaker’s lawyer Priyanka Khimani had revealed that in his statement to the police, Anurag Kashyap had provided proof and denied the alleged incident. “Mr. Kashyap has denied all wrongdoing in the matter and has provided his statement to the police. The material provided by Mr. Kashyap, in support of his statement, demonstrates that the complaint of Ms. Ghosh is an outright lie. Mr. Kashyap has provided documentary proof of the fact that throughout August, 2013 he was away in Sri Lanka in connection with the shooting of one of his films. Mr. Kashyap has categorically denied that any such alleged incident ever took place and has also denied all allegations levelled against him. These sudden, belated allegations of an alleged incident of August, 2013 have been widely publicized by the Complainant for the purpose of vilifying Mr. Kashyap, irrespective of the outcome of the judicial process. Mr. Kashyap is confident that the falsity of the complaint has been exposed, not only by the evidence presented by Mr. Kashyap, but also the ever-shifting version of events put forth by Ms. Ghosh in the media.”
