Tensions escalate in Bollywood as actress Sharad Kapoor faces renewed heat over molestation charges. The 32-year-old accuser, bypassing stalled police efforts, has filed in Bombay High Court for a Crime Branch-led probe, citing deliberate delays in his arrest.
Their connection sparked online; Kapoor dangled project bait, summoning her to Khar. The ‘meeting spot’ revealed as his home set the stage for alleged misconduct.
Khar station’s inertia—despite solid digital trails like screenshots and calls—drove her to judiciary. Advocate Ali Kashif Khan, in IANS insights, flags officer no-shows at two PCA hearings: ‘Suspension warranted for such dereliction.’
He decries inconsistent policing: ‘Similar cases nab suspects pronto; here, impunity reigns.’ The charge sheet’s arrest fib and Kapoor’s summons snub compound woes.
‘He neither aided inquiry nor complied—yet roams free,’ Khan asserts, demanding uniform law application.
The petition exposes flawed filings undermining credibility. High Court lists March 6 hearing, promising scrutiny.
Kapoor’s silver screen stints from yesteryears contrast this grim narrative. Absent rebuttals amplify suspicions of clout. As #MeToo echoes resurface, this battle tests India’s justice machinery against power corridors.
