For the unversed, Vinta, in a chilling Facebook post, had accused Nath of sexually assaulting her when she was the producer of 90’s television show Tara, which cast the actor in the lead role. After sharing her experience of harassment on social media, she filed a case against Alok at the Oshiwara police station.

Although Alok denied Vinta's accusations, his wife Ashu Nath asked the court to direct Vinta to abstain from discussing the case with the press or writing about it on social media until the hearing of the defamation case that she has filed against her, concludes. However, the court refused to oblige, saying that it doesn’t have the authority to issue such an order.

Alok was recently expelled by the Cine And Television Artistes Association (CINTAA) as well.
