In a developing story gripping Mumbai, a woman’s desperate plea in the Bombay High Court spotlights alleged police bias in the Sharad Kapoor molestation scandal. Demanding a Crime Branch takeover, she questions why the actor hasn’t been arrested despite damning evidence.
The sequence unfolded innocently: social media chats led to Kapoor’s offer of film work. Lured to his Khar home disguised as an office discussion, she endured assault attempts. Her prompt complaint at the local station yielded little.
Lawyer Ali Kashif Khan pulls no punches. To IANS, he disclosed ongoing actions against negligent cops via Police Complaints Authority. ‘Officers skipped hearings; we’ve sought suspensions. Evidence screams guilt—yet freedom for the accused.’
Police contradictions abound: one officer downplayed immediate arrests publicly, while parallels saw handcuffs slapped quickly. The charge sheet’s false arrest claim is ‘egregious perjury,’ Khan charges.
Kapoor’s summons defiance—no station visits, no statements—violates protocol. The lawyer insists equal justice: ‘Law isn’t whimsical.’
Court records detail the deception from online promises to real peril. With March 6 as the next date, anticipation builds.
Once a fixture in ’90s blockbusters and 2000s flicks, Kapoor’s legacy taints amid silence. This episode fuels discourse on institutional lapses in celebrity crimes, urging systemic reforms for victim protection.
