Mumbai Police Registers Case Against 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' Producer, 2 Others

'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' producer Asit Modi, Operation Head Sohail Ramani and Executive Producer Jatin Bajaj are in trouble as Mumbai Police has filed a case against them based on a complaint by one of the show's actors.

The First Information Report (FIR) has been registered under Sections 354 and 509 (Assault or criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), ANI reported.

However, no arrests have been made yet. In May, the actress filed a written sexual harassment complaint against producer Asit Modi and others.

However, Asit Kumar Modi had denied the allegations and said that he would take legal action against the actress.

"We will take legal action as she is trying to defame me and the show both, since we terminated her services, she is making these baseless allegations," Asit Kumar Modi said.

"She lacked basic discipline on the set and was not focusing on her work. We regularly had to complain to the production head about her behaviour. On her last day she was abusive in front of the whole unit and left the set without finishing her shoot," ANI quoted the team of directors of the show including Harshad Joshi, Rushi Dave and Arman about the actress as saying.

Project head Sohail Ramani and executive producer Jatin Bajaj had accused her of misbehaving on the sets.

"She regularly misbehaved on the show with the entire team. While moving out from the shoot, she rashly drove her car out at very high speed not caring for people in her way. She even damaged the set property. We had to terminate her contract because of her bad behaviour and indiscipline during the shoot. During this incident, Asit ji was in the USA. She is now trying to defame us and the show by making baseless allegations. We have already filed our complaint against these baseless allegations with the concerned authorities," they added.
