A First Information Report has been registered against Saini S Johray, a production designer working on the film Dhurandhar, following allegations of sexual harassment and wrongful confinement filed by a woman, according to reports emerging from the film industry.
The complaint, which has been lodged with local authorities, accuses Johray of inappropriate conduct and illegally confining the complainant. Details regarding the specific circumstances of the alleged incident and the location where the FIR was filed have not been publicly disclosed at this time. The production designer has been associated with various projects in the Indian film industry, with Dhurandhar being among his recent assignments.
The case adds to a growing list of harassment allegations that have surfaced within India's entertainment sector in recent years. Following the #MeToo movement's impact on Bollywood and regional film industries, there has been increased scrutiny on workplace safety and professional conduct across production houses and film sets.
Legal experts note that charges of wrongful confinement under Section 342 of the Indian Penal Code, combined with sexual harassment allegations, carry serious legal consequences. The investigation is expected to proceed according to established protocols, with authorities gathering evidence and recording statements from all parties involved. Neither Johray nor the production team of Dhurandhar has issued an official statement regarding the allegations at the time of reporting.
