A daily reports that the complainant is an actress, singer, and fitness model who told the police she met Khan at a party in 2017. The complainant claims that KRK, who identified himself as a producer, made a promise to her that he would cast her in the lead role alongside Emraan Hashmi. Additionally, she said that he had spoken openly about her on the phone.
The report said, "The complainant also stated that she had visited his bungalow in January 2019 and that while there, he flashed her and attempted to have sex with her."
The complainant's friend persuaded her to call the police in 2021 because she was afraid that her career would be destroyed. The Indian Penal Code sections 354 A (sexual harassment) and 509 (word, act, or gesture designed to offend a woman's modesty) were used to lodge the FIR.
