Director Sanoj Mishra: A rape allegation has led to the arrest of Sanoj Mishra, the director who gave Monalisa, a viral hit, a part in his film during the Kumbh Mela. After the Delhi High Court denied his bail request, he was arrested. After sophisticated monitoring and intelligence collection, the Delhi Police arrested 45-year-old Sanoj Mishra on March 30, 2024.
Mishra, who lives in Mumbai with his family, was arrested in Ghaziabad and put into prison by the Nabi Karim Police Station. A 28-year-old lady from a tiny village is at the core of the case; she claimed that Mishra sexually assaulted her four times. The woman claimed to have lived with Mishra in Mumbai during this period and to have dreamed of becoming a movie actress.
She also claimed that Mishra coerced her into having an abortion three different times. In her police statement, the woman further charged that Mishra had broken his vow to marry her. An FIR was filed on March 6, 2024, under multiple categories, including rape, assault, causing miscarriage, and threatening, according to a statement from the Delhi Police.
In a statement made in accordance with section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), the complainant further substantiated her claims. From Muzaffarnagar, the authorities were able to get medical records pertaining to the purported abortions.
