Bhubaneswar: The Maharashtra Police has registered a case against Odia movie producer Sanjay Nayak following a written complaint by actress Prakruti Mishra alleging defamation, an official said Saturday.
On the basis of Prakruti’s complaint, the Dadabhai Naoroji police in Andheri West have registered a non-cognizable case (871/23) against Nayak under Sections 500, 504 and 506 of the IPC.
The controversy began after Prakruti, in a television interview, accused Nayak of sexually exploiting newcomers on the pretext of providing role in movies. Two actresses too came forward in support of the charges levelled by Prakruti.
Meanwhile, the filmmaker in a press conference rubbished the allegations levelled against him.
