A crew member had accused the actor of sexual harassment nearly five years ago while working on the film 'Sherni'.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (Gondia) Mahendra Sorte withdrew the charges filed against the actor for sexual harassment and stalking. The crew member had accused the actor five years ago, when the film 'Sherni' was being shot, of sexually harassing her. According to the complaint lodged at Ramnagar police station in Gondia, the alleged crime was committed between the night of October 25, 2020, and the morning of October 29, 2020.
Actor Vijay Raaz was arrested on November 4, 2020, in Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh. This is where the film crew was staying. However, he was released on bail the same day. The case has been going on in the court since then.
