After Radhika adult video leak on WhatsApp, director files case

Cyber Cell of Mumbai Police has registered a case against an unknown person for leaking an adult video of Bollywood actress Radhika Apte.

The case was registered after director Anurag Kashyap approached the police with a complaint last week.

Director Anurag Kashyap is furious after a clip from a short film he directed began circulating on WhatsApp over the weekend.

The clip, which Mr Kashyap says has been taken out of context, features actress Radhika Apte in a scene that required her to be partly-nude. "She feels victimised and I feel responsible," Mr Kashyap told the Times Of India.

In an interview to the Times Of India, Mr Kashyap explains that the short film was meant to be released internationally only and was one of a series of such films.

Mr Kashyap says he contacted Mumbai police commissioner Rakesh Maria who activated the cyber-crime branch. He also says he's 'going to spend the rest of (his) life to find this guy,' who he's convinced is an Indian living in New York.

Kashyap describes Radhika Apte as 'one of the bravest actresses we have' and 'forward thinking.'

The actress refused to comment on the matter and stated that she would wait to speak about it after the culprit is caught.

This is the second time Radhika Apte is embroiled in similar controversy. Earlier, she was in news when her intimate pictures were compromised online.
