Mumbai Interior Designer Booked For Molesting Actor: All We Know About The Case

Interior designer booked for molestation: The Oshiwara, Mumbai police booked an interior designer after an actor filed molestation complaint against him. The incident took place in July this year. The actor had hired the accused for the interior decoration of her apartment at Andheri's Veera Desai Road. However, things went south between the two when she confronted the designer after not being satisfied with his work.

While the identity of the designer and the actor remains under wraps, here's what we know about the case so far:

1. The incident occurred in the first week of July, when the 35-year-old actor, primarily known for her work in Southern film, visited her apartment to check the designer's work.
2.  She confronted the designer about the poor quality of work, after which an argument broke between the two.
3. Allegedly, the designer abused her verbally and threw her out of the apartment.
4. The actor claimed that he had warned her against going to the cops. This is why the complaint was delayed.
5. The police officials have registered a complaint based on the actor's statement and an investigation is underway. However, no arrest has been made so far.

7. A similar incident took place in Feb 2017 when an actor was abducted and sexually assaulted in a moving vehicle. One of the suspects in the case was actor Dileep. Allegedly, he hired kidnappers to capture the actor and assault her.
8. He even asked them to record visuals of the act and send him. Allegedly, Dileep was having an extra marital affair with Kavya Madhavan at that time. The survivor had revealed this to his first wife Manju Warrier.
