The National Commission for Women issued notices earlier this month to filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actors Urvashi Rautela, Mouni Roy, Esha Gupta, and Prince Narula to record their statements against an accused of alleged blackmail and sexual assault of a number of women on the pretext of providing modelling opportunities through his company.
The fresh notices in the matter came after these celebrities, who allegedly promoted the company – IMG Ventures, failed to appear at the hearing before the commission which it had scheduled for August 6.
“NCW has taken serious note of their non-appearance. The meeting has been adjourned to the next date, i.e., on August 18 at 11.30 a.m. You will be sent formal notices again and non-appearance will be followed by action as per our procedures,” the commission said while initiating action on August 6.
Mahesh Bhatt has issued a statement in this matter and clarified his stance on the Instagram page of his production company, Vishesh Films.
