Screewriter and director Vinta Nanda submitted a five-page application at Oshiwara police station on Wednesday requesting the police to register an FIR against actor Alok Nath for allegedly raping her almost two decades ago.

"I have submitted my complaint and it has been accepted. The officers have assured me that my statement will be recorded soon," Nanda said. Nath's wife, Ashu, recently filed a defamation suit against Nanda for 'damaging their image in public'. When asked if the defamation notice had been served, Nanda said, "I have given the notice to my legal brigade to take necessary action."
