According to the woman, once she arrived at Kapoor's home, he led her from the kitchen to the bedroom, where he was found unclothed. She reportedly asked him to dress and behave appropriately, but he allegedly tried to hug her inappropriately. The woman managed to escape the situation.
Following the incident, the woman, also an actor and producer, reported the matter to the Khar police. An FIR was filed against Kapoor under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including assault and sexual harassment. The police have started looking into the situation.
Sharad Kapoor, who was unaware of the FIR until contacted by police, denies the allegations. In an interview, he claimed the incident did not occur and expressed confusion over the case. He stated he was currently in Kolkata and was unaware of any forced behavior on his part.
