Geetika Tyagi

Jun 25: He won the National Award for his film Jolly LLB, but then has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Well, we are talking about the director Subhash Kapoor who was arrested on Monday (June 23, 2014) on charges of molestation by actor Geetika Tyagi.

Geetika Tyagi says that she feels empowered and now would go all the way to fight her way to get justice.

“I had approached the cops way back in February 2014, then filed the complaint in April and finally Subhash Kapoor gets arrested in June 2014. This clearly shows that a lot of powerful forces have been protecting him but no one gets arrested without ¬reason. It’s the first step to my win and I am looking ahead now,” says Geetika Tyagi, who was seen in films such as Aatma, What The Fish and One by Two.

Geetika Tyagi had filed a complaint against Subhash Kapoor at Mumbai’s Versova Police Station in April, ¬alleging that he came to her house in May 2012 and touched her inappropriately under the influence of alcohol.

Earlier in February this year, Geetika Tyagi tweeted a link to a video, in which she was seen accusing Subhash Kapoor of forcing himself on her, while Subhash Kapoor’s wife, Dimple Kharbanda, was seen ¬pleading with Geetika Tyagi and her boyfriend, director Atul Sabharwal, to keep the ¬matter private. Atul Sabarwal, Geetika Tyagi‘s boyfriend has directed the film Aurangzeb.

“Subhash was like an elder brother. I knew him and his family for nine years. I’ve seen his son grow up, and we’ve organised his birthday parties together. I was so shocked after that night that I didn’t know what to do. His wife would request me to keep the matter a secret for the future of their son, saying how he ill-treats her, too, but she has to put up with him because of her ailing mother. I am not one to put up with such abuse,”clarified Geetika.

Well, if all this was not enough drama director Tigmanshu Dhulia has tweeted in support of Subhash Kapoor and wrote, “If the film industry has any heart, they should boycott Atul Sabarwal as he was part of this vicious scheme to demean Subhash Kapoor.”

Now, who is right and who is wrong we shall get to know as the case unfolds.

Mumbai, Aug 1: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has said that Sushant Singh Rajput case should not be politicised or used to create friction between Maharashtra and Bihar.

Amid the ongoing criticism faced by the Mumbai Police following an investigation into Rajput's death case, the Chief Minister stressed that Mumbai Police is not "inefficient" while appealing those who have any evidence in regard to the case to step forward.

"Mumbai Police is not inefficient. If anyone has any evidence they can bring it to us and we will interrogate and punish the guilty. Please do not use this case (Sushant Singh Rajput death case) as an excuse to create friction between Maharashtra and Bihar," Thackeray said on Friday.

"Bringing politics in the case is the most deplorable thing to do," he added.

Maharashtra government has filed a caveat before the Supreme Court in the Rajput's death case.

Earlier, Bihar government and Rajput's family have filed caveats in the top court seeking to challenge actor Rhea Chakraborty's petition that sought transfer of the FIR registered in Patna to Mumbai in the actor's death case.

"After Bihar government and Rajput's family filed a caveat in the Supreme Court, Maharashtra government has filed a caveat before the SC today to ensure that no order is passed in Rhea Chakraborty's petition case without hearing its (Maharashtra) side," said Sachin Patil, standing counsel for Maharashtra Government.

A caveat is a legal process, in which the party which had filed it before the concerned court, shall have to be heard definitely before the concerned court passes any order in future.

Bihar Police has sought the assistance of Mumbai police to probe the Sushant Singh Rajput case, Mumbai police Crime Branch officials told ANI. However, the Police are still considering their request.

Bihar Police team reached after an FIR was filed by late actor's father KK Singh against Chakraborty in Bihar under several sections including abetment of suicide.

Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai residence on June 14.

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie feels discrimination and impunity cannot be justified in any way, and says she hopes people in the US can come together to "address the deep structural wrongs in our society".

The Oscar-winning star, who turned 45 on Thursday, also donated $200,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, reports people.com.

"Rights don't belong to any one group to give to another. Discrimination and impunity cannot be tolerated, explained away or justified. I hope we can come together as Americans to address the deep structural wrongs in our society," Jolie said.

"I stand with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund in their fight for racial equality, social justice, and their call for urgent legislative reform," she added.

Meanwhile, the actress celebrated her birthday amid lockdown with her six children -- Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

The actress and activist has been active since the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world and has donated to different organisations.

Jolie previously donated $1 million to No Kid Hungry, the organisation working to feed children during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I knew that there were problems in America, that there was poverty, but I could not believe when I realised how many school children in America were dependent on a meal to not go hungry. I was so disgusted that we have gotten to this point as a country and that we would let the most vulnerable be in such a state. I can't imagine what it feels like for those parents," she said while opening up about her reason to get associated with the organisation.
