Accordingly Actor Sruthi Hariharan, who has leveled charges of sexual harassment against south Indian actor Arjun Sarja, recorded her statement before the magistrate on Wednesday. Meanwhile her statement comes two days after Arjun Sarja appeared before Bengaluru’s Cubbon Park Police for questioning in connection with the case.
As per report Sruthi Hariharan has lodged a complaint against Arjun accusing him of sexually harassing her on the sets of the movie Vismaya. Furthermore denying all allegations against him, Arjun Sarja moved the Karnataka High Court seeking protection from arrest. Karnataka High Court had directed police not to arrest him until November 14. Earlier on October 20, Sruthi had posted a long Facebook message detailing the alleged sexual assault she faced from Arjun Sarja during the rehearsal of a romantic scene on the movie sets.
Moreover she added that the sexual harassment continued, with Arjun Sarja suggesting changes to the scene. "Before she could react, he again pulled her very close and moved his hand behind her back, asking the director 'whether we can improvise like this in the scene.' She immediately went to the director and told him she cannot work like this as all his gestures/acts are intended to insult her modesty and all his advances, physical contact is nothing but explicit sexual overtures.
