A little while ago, Writer-producer Vinta Nanda accused actor Alok Nath of allegedly raping her.
She narrated her horrifying ordeal in a Facebook post.
She was the writer and producer of television serial ‘Tara’ in the 90s, in which Nath played a lead role.
The actor had later filed a civil defamation suit against the Nanda after she accused him of rape.
He also sought a written apology, along with a compensation and a restraining order against Nanda.
However, the application was rejected by Mumbai’s Dindoshi Sessions Court.
