Alok Nath sues Vinta Nanda over sexual assault allegations, seeks Rs 1 as compensation


New Delhi, Oct 15(Zee News): Actor Alok Nath on Monday filed a civil defamation suit against writer producer Vinta Nanda for levelling sexual assault allegations against him. Alok Nath has also sought a written apology and Rs 1 as compensation.

The actor had earlier threatened that he will be taking legal action against her. Speaking to news agency ANI, Alok Nath’s lawyer Ashok Saraogi had said that legal proceedings would be initiated against her. "We are going to take action against her for the unnecessary defamatory statements issued by her," said Alok Nath’s lawyer had said.

Citing that the allegations were pertaining to a 19-year-old incident, Ashok Saraogi said that the move was aimed at tarnishing Alok Nath’s reputation. "Easy to make allegations of an incident alleged to have taken place 19 years back. This shows the entire allegations are false. I believe of this has been done to defame his reputation," he had said.

  

Earlier Alok Nath's wife Ashu Singh had moved court against Vinta Nanda for accusing him of sexually harassing. According to media reports, Ashu Singh, in an application to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate in Mumbai's court, had requested the police to probe into the matter. "A complaint was submitted to the police for defaming my client; we have also moved court in the matter," Saraogi had said.

In a Facebook post last week, Vinta had accused Alok Nath of spiking her drink and raping her 19 years ago. She wrote: "I was invited to a party to this man’s house, his wife, my best friend was out of town. As the evening flowed, my drinks were mixed and I began to feel strange. Then at around 2 am I left his house."

She added, "I started to walk home on the empty streets although the distance to my own house was long. Midway I was accosted by this man who was driving his own car and he asked me to sit in it and said he would drop me home. I trusted him and sat in his car. I have faint memory after that. I can remember more liquor being poured into my mouth and I remember being violated endlessly. When I woke up the next afternoon, I was in pain. I hadn’t just been raped, I was taken to my own house and had been brutalised. I couldn’t get up for my bed."

However, responding to the allegations, Alok Nath had said, "Neither I am denying this nor do I would agree with it. It must have happened, but someone else would have done it."

    As it is Indian juciary system is corrupt and taking long time to give their opinion or justice. Such stupid cases ( if Filed) will put us another 25 years back. I doubt that this lady was enjoying what has happened 19 years back

    Alok Nath and M J Akbar are taking the same position as Brett Kavanagh in the US. Hoping that what transpired years ago, would be brushed aside and they would survive. However, the odds seem to be against them as more than one or two persons have come forward and what these predators have done in unpardonable and therefore they have to be investigated and punished.
    However, at the same time we have some women making ridiculous claims on harassment like say '' He was cracking lewd jokes and remarks'' etc etc. Can someone explain how jokes even if they are crude made in the presence of many staff in the office both male and female amount to sexual harassment? There are millions of cases when both women and men sometimes pass remarks and crack jokes which may seem OK and acceptable to some and gross and crude to others. How can such instances be called sexual harassment?
    Making unwanted and repeated physical contact even when objected to, Making demands for sex in exchange for favours, promotions or career advancement, rape, physical violence and such can be described as sexual harassment...……………….. Therefore these women have to be careful while making such stupid allegations and ruining careers and reputations of others and by doing so belittling and destroying the METOO movement. If unwanted allegations are made, the movement will lose popular support and the predators will get away easy.

    Aloknath is such a Drunkard and Stupid guy, once he was treated by Dubai Airport Police, which he will never forget in his whole life !!!!! A few years ago, he was at Dubai Airport in intoxicated state where he was peeing openly at the departure area . I think, it's not necessary to explain what happened to this Drunkard thereafter!!!!!!

    Alok Nath really must be feeling proud for he has been named in
    'Me Too'...
    At last I have gained recognition ..he told his wife it seems.
    Those who doubted about his potency those days have been ringing him and saying it seems...
    You Too ??
    That story after 2 a.m is full of suspense...Spiking, violating and all that stuff...
    Till now nobody has been able to crack it open..Panda sorry Nanda or Alok...
    All are confused as to Whodunit..Is it not?
    Similar to an Agatha Christie thriller ... here leaving everyone aghast at the end because 'Suspense still remains...
