Bollywood music composer Sachin Sanghvi, one-half of the popular duo Sachin-Jigar, was arrested on Thursday, October 23, following allegations of sexual assault, police said. The complaint claims that Sanghvi allegedly sexually assaulted a woman after promising her a role in a music album and marriage.
According to the FIR, the complainant, a woman in her 20s, stated that Sachin initially contacted her in February of the previous year via Instagram. He reportedly offered her work on his upcoming music album, after which the two exchanged phone numbers. The complainant said that Sachin invited her to his music studio, where he allegedly proposed marriage and sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions.
Speaking to the press, Sachin&rsquo;s lawyer, Aditya Mithe, refuted the allegations, calling them &ldquo;absolutely baseless and unsubstantiated.&rdquo; He added that his client&rsquo;s police detention was illegal, which led to his immediate release on bail. Mithe emphasized that Sachin intends to fully defend himself against all allegations.
Sachin Sanghvi has not made any public statement regarding the matter. His official Instagram account, @soulfulsachin, is currently deactivated, and his music partner, Jigar, has not issued a statement either.
The duo Sachin-Jigar recently composed music for the Diwali release Thamma, starring Rashmika Mandanna and Ayushmann Khurrana. Their earlier work, including the hit composition Aaj Ki Raat for Stree 2, had garnered widespread acclaim.
