On Thursday, October 1, Anurag Kashyap appeared before the Mumbai Police for questioning in the sexual assault case filed against him by an actress last month. Now, a day later, the filmmaker's lawyer Priyanka Khimani issued a statement. In the statement, Anurag denied all accusations levelled by the actress. He also stated via his lawyer that he has provided all the documents that act as proof to the police and also said that the alleged incident never took place.  

"Mr. Kashyap has denied all wrongdoing in the matter and has provided his statement to the police. The material provided by Mr. Kashyap, in support of his statement, demonstrates that the complaint of Ms. Ghosh is an outright lie. Mr. Kashyap has provided documentary proof of the fact that throughout August 2013 he was away in Sri Lanka in connection with the shooting of one of his films. Mr. Kashyap has categorically denied that any such alleged incident ever took place and has also denied all allegations levelled against him," the statement read.

The statement further read, "These sudden, belated allegations of an alleged incident of August 2013 have been widely publicised by the Complainant for the purpose of vilifying Mr. Kashyap, irrespective of the outcome of the judicial process. Mr. Kashyap is confident that the falsity of the complaint has been exposed, not only by the evidence presented by Mr. Kashyap but also the ever-shifting version of events put forth by (the actress) in the media. Mr. Kashyap is apprehensive that now that the falsity of her allegations in the FIR have been established, she will alter her version of events in the investigative process as well. Mr. Kashyap is distressed with the false and reckless allegations made against him that have caused pain to him, his family and his fans. Mr. Kashyap intends to vigorously pursue the legal remedies available to him."
 
Stating that Anurag vehemently denies any incident of this nature, the statement mentioned, "Mr. Kashyap vehemently denies any such incident, as has been alleged, and has sought for severe action against (the actress) for misusing the criminal justice system and for hijacking the Me Too Movement for her ulterior motives. Mr. Kashyap is confident that justice will prevail."
