Ganesh Acharya is yet to comment on the matter. In the past, he had denied all allegations calling them “false and baseless”.

For the unversed, the incident had happened when the woman was working as a junior dancer with him. She had accused him of making lewd comments, showing her porn movie and molesting her.
