A 33-year-old woman associated with the film industry has written to the National Commission for Women (NCW) alleging that Bollywood choreographer Ganesh Acharya used to make her watch porn videos whenever she visited his office in suburban Andheri.
In a complaint filed with the Amboli police here, the woman, an assistant choreographer, has alleged that Acharya and two women assaulted her during a function of the Indian Film and Television Choreographers Association (IFTCA) held in Andheri on Sunday.
The Maharashtra State Commission for Women (MSCW) has now written to the Amboli police, asking them to submit a report in the matter within a week.
Apart from Acharya (48), the assistant choreographer has named two women, Jayashree Kelkar and Preeti Lad, members of his choreography team, in her complaint for assault, a police official said on Tuesday.
However, the Amboli police have also received a cross- complaint against the assistant choreographer from Lad and Kelkar, he said.
Senior inspector Someshwar Kamthe said, "We have registered the cross-complaint and will be calling the woman (the assistant choreographer) to the police station as part of further probe."
Speaking to PTI, the assistant choreographer said, "I appeared before the state commission and I will submit a fresh letter to them on Wednesday."
