molestation by a journalist
Dr Sharma launched his website that was inaugurated by Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra on Friday.
According to Mansi’s lawyer Falguni Brahmbhatt, “When the interview was over, Mansi waited to thank him. On the pretext of shaking her hand, Dr Sharma pulled her close to him, tried to kiss her and started to feel her. When Mansi resisted, he took a sharp, surgical instrument and threatened to kill her and told her that he can spoil her life with his money and muscle power.”
Mansi went to Khar police station and registered a molestation case against Dr Sharma. The Khar police arrested Dr Sharma and will be producing him in front of the Bandra court.
Veronica Sharma (22), daughter of Dr Vijay Sharma said, “My father is wrongly framed by the channel for publicity. There was a camera crew with the journalist. Why didn’t anyone come to help her?”
