An FIR has been filed against Slumdog Millionaire actor Madhur Mittal, after his former girlfriend levelled sexual assault allegations against him. An FIR under IPC sections 354, 354A, 354B, 509, 323 has been filed against him on February 23 at Mumbai's Khar Police station, according to reports.

The actor has denied the allegations, calling them ‘extremely disturbing’. "Getting to learn about things which are untrue is extremely disturbing. There have been WhatsApp messages filled with stories that are assassinating my character. These are being forwarded for weeks in casting directors’ groups denying me work. I’m the only earning member of my family since the age of seven and all these reports in the media are affecting me, my family and my career in more ways than you can imagine,” he told Times of India.

The former girlfriend's lawyer Niranjani Shetty claimed the girl had sustained injuries. "That girl was not in a state to talk to me. Her friend reached out to me. She had sustained injuries under the eye, neck and lips. I discovered that she was battered and sexually assaulted. Our concern was her safety, so I sent a letter by post to the police station. I personally went to the Crime Against Women Cell (CAWC). They later called us and the FIR was filed," she told TOI..
