A youth was detained on Saturday night for allegedly slapping and molesting a film and television actress.
The victim, Gauhar Khan, in her complaint said that the accused entered Film city in Goregaon, a western suburb of Mumbai, on the pretext of being a spectator, slapped and molested her on the sets of a show.
The accused identified as Akil Mali (24) was booked on the charge of molestation. He allegedly did not like the actress sporting ‘short dresses’ in her shows and therefore landed up at the sets to express his displeasure.
The police are likely to place him under arrest and produce him before a local court on Monday.
Meanwhile, twitteratti came in support of the actress. Actor Farhan Akthar said:
"Dearest natural selection, please help us out-evolve morons like the one who slapped Gauhar Khan. Sincerely...— Farhan Akhtar"
