SCOOP: Vikas Bahl Influenced The Law Proceedings To Get A Clean Chit Before Super 30’s Release?

Last year, #MeToo movement was kick-started by Tanushree Dutta and amongst the renowned celebrities, filmmaker Vikas Bahl too, saw some serious allegations popping up on his name. Apparently, Bahl stepped down as a partner of Phantom Films Production, which eventually got dissolved.

Vikas Bahl, who was working on Hrithik Roshan’s Super 30, had to step aside and Anurag Kashyap was appointed to look into post-production of the movie. As far as one knows, Vikas was cleared by Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) and restored as a director on Super 30.

Now, according to Huffington Post, Vikas Bahl was provided a clean chit by ICC without even following proper procedures and making dialogue with the witnesses. The respective committee was established to investigate the allegations on Bahl.

In March, ICC was asked to look into the matter upon the request of Vikas Bahl, states the committee report. Such procedures are not in accordance with Indian laws as there is no provision to arrange such investigation on a request of an alleged person, accused with sexual harassment.

Questions are raised as the committee was set up prior to the release of Super 30, just to rehabilitate the filmmaker.
