After meeting with the Governor, the alleged victim’s advocate told IANS, “We have given a letter to the governor seeking protection, and informed him about the case. Ramdas Athawale ji also requested him to look into the matter because the police are not doing anything. He assured us that he is concerned about atrocities against women happening in the state and will be looking into the matter. I have asked for Y-category security for (the victim) and myself. The victim has threat to her life and I am protecting her, so I am also vulnerable from anti-social elements.”
The actress has alleged that Anurag stripped off in front of her and tried to molest her. Anurag, on his end, has denied all allegations.
