A zero FIR has been registered against choreographer Shaik Jani Basa, also known as Jani Master, following allegations of sexual assault made by a 21-year-old woman choreographer.
According to the police, the woman has alleged in her complaint that Jani Master sexually abused her multiple times. The police have booked Jani Master under sections 376(2)(n), 506, and 323 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and have initiated an investigation. According to the FIR, the woman stated that in 2019, she joined Jani Master's team as an assistant choreographer. "Whenever she travelled outside Hyderabad for shoots, her mother did not accompany her due to the unavailability of tickets and accommodation. For a project in Mumbai, she, along with Jani Master and two other male assistants, travelled to Mumbai. During their stay at a Mumbai hotel, Jani Master allegedly sexually assaulted her and threatened to fire her if she told anyone. She remained silent, but he continued to harass her on multiple occasions during subsequent shoots," the complaint stated. "On August 17, 2024, while she was returning home from a temple, an unknown person threatened her," it added. (ANI)
