Alok Nath sends defamation notice to Vinta Nanda post rape accusations

October 13, 2018 11:14

As MeToo stories have been bringing several Bollywood personalities under the scanner, television and film actor Alok Nath who was accused of rape after writer Vinta Nanda shared her harrowing story on Twitter, several women who have worked with the 'sanskari baap' have alleged about his behaviour in public.

While the actor also gave a statement where he neither denied or would agree with the accusations, according to the latest developments, his lawyer has now reportedly filed a defamation notice to Vinta (who worked with Alok on the '90s hit TV series Tara). A defamation notice has been sent to Vinta and a criminal complaint has also been filed in Andheri court against her.

Earlier, speaking to ANI, Alok Nath's lawyer said, "It's easy to make these allegations. That too of an incident, which is alleged to have taken place 19 years back. Now, this by itself shows that the entire allegations are false on the face of it. A person will never wait on a period of 19 years to make the allegations. I believe that this all has been done only to defame his reputation and nothing beyond that."
