Alok Nath who was recently dragged into the Me Too controversy by Tara producer Vinta Nanda has been in trouble ever since. The trouble for Alok Nath has now increased as Mumbai's Dindoshi Sessions Court has rejected his wife Ashu Nath's application for an injunction order against Vinta Nanda. The court said it can't pass an injunction order against her at this stage.
The court further stated that if the entire matter is about Alok Nath then his wife Ashu Nath in no case can intervene and issue an application against Vinta. Earlier Alok's lawyer had stated that Vinta was drunk at the time she claims that she was raped and so maybe the pain was of something else and not rape. To this Vinta's lawyer had replied that no criminal should be saved by giving such baseless reasons and that a woman would never be comfortable in accepting that she has been raped.
With the #MeToo movement gaining momentum in India since the last month, Nanda, in a chilling Facebook post two weeks ago, 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.
“I have waited for this moment to come for 19 years,” Nanda wrote in a long, heart-wrenching Facebook post, referring to the “predator in question” as “the actor par excellence who is known as the most ‘sanskaari‘ (cultured) person in the film and television industry”. Her suggestive remarks and that the person concerned was the “lead actor” and a “television star of that decade” were good enough to make out that Nanda was indeed pointing the finger at Alok.
