A man slapped the Big Boss Season 7 winner during the grand finale of Star Plus show Raw Star Gauhar Khan while she was shooting for a television show at FilmCity on Sunday night.
The accused, Mohammad Akil Malik, 24, was pinned down by security persons on the sets and handed over to the Aarey Colony police. Officials said Malik had objected to the actor’s dress sense and for dancing to racy numbers. He also tried to touch her. He is likely to be booked on charges of molestation and assault.
“being a Muslim woman, she should not have worn such a short dress”, Aarey Colony police said.
Senior inspector at Aarey police station, Vilas Chavan, told PTI that the accused was subsequently arrested and booked under IPC sections 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation). Mallick will be produced before the court tomorrow.
