Aspiring actor Kritika Sharma accuses Versova police of dragging feet in complaint against casting director Vicky Sidana

Kritika Sharma and Vicky Sidana
It took five long years for actor Kritika Sharma to muster the courage to finally speak out about her horrifying experience at the hands of Bollywood casting director Vicky Sidana, who allegedly attempted to rape her in 2013. However, justice might still elude her, as Sharma, who recently approached the Versova Police with a written complaint, has learnt that an FIR won't be filed anytime soon.
Sidana, who is known for his work in films like Baby, Drishyam, and Special 26, found himself in the eye of the storm, when Sharma and two other women, accused him of sexual misconduct. Spurred by the #MeToo movement, Sharma decided to file a complaint with the Versova Police on Thursday. But, while the police took down her statement, they have refused to file an FIR, claiming that since the incident dates back to 2013, it would first need to be thoroughly investigated.
