Actor
Aditya
Pancholi
has
approached
the
Bombay
High
Court
seeking
to
quash
a
2019
case
of
allegedly
raping
a
leading
woman
actor.
Pancholi
in
his
petition
said
the
FIR
was
lodged
at
suburban
Versova
police
station
in
June
2019,
but
till
date,
the
police
have
neither
filed
a
charge
sheet
nor
submitted
a
closure
report.
His
advocate
Abhinav
Chandrachud
on
Tuesday
argued
before
a
division
bench
of
Justices
N
M
Jamdar
and
N
R
Borkar
that
not
submitting
a
charge
sheet
indicates
there
has
been
no
progress
in
the
investigation.
Apart
from
seeking
for
the
FIR
to
be
quashed,
Pancholi
also
sought
direction
to
police
to
inform
him
about
the
progress
made
in
the
probe
into
the
case.

The

hearing

issued

notice
to

and
the
woman
complainant
and
posted
the
matter
for
further
hearing
on
September
19.
The

Mother
Accuses
Sooraj
Pancholi
Of
Maligning
Her
Late
Daughter’s
Image
Chandrachud
argued
that
the
case
is
pending
since
2019
and
hanging
like
a
sword
over
Pancholi’s
head
who
is
living
under
the
stigma
of
being
accused
in
a
rape
case.
The
woman
had
in
her
complaint
alleged
that
Pancholi
drugged
and
raped
her
when
she
was
a
newbie
in
Bollywood.
She
alleged
Pancholi
had
not
only
physically
assaulted
her,
but
also
assaulted
her
sister.
