**Hyderabad:** The investigation into the sexual harassment allegations against choreographer Jani Master is ongoing, with the Tollywood Sexual Harassment Resolution Panel demanding clarity within 90 days.
Police have registered cases under IPC sections 376, 506, and 323(2) against Jani Master based on a complaint filed by a dancer. The case, initially registered at Rayadurgam police station, has been transferred to Narasingh police station. Three police officers have recorded the statement of the victim.
The Tollywood Sexual Harassment Resolution Panel, headed by actress and anchor Jhansi, held a press conference to address the issue.
“The film industry is unorganized and lacks proper guidelines for women’s protection,” Jhansi said. “Our panel has been investigating the Jani Master case for the past two weeks. The victim initially reported harassment in the workplace, but later revealed sexual harassment.”
She further stated that the panel recorded the statements of both the victim and Jani Master. “Sexual harassment is unacceptable, and the panel is taking it seriously. We believe justice will be served. The investigation is ongoing, and we hope for a clear outcome within 90 days.”
Jhansi urged the public not to reveal the victim’s identity or details and requested that the media respect her privacy. She also alleged that a prominent hero had contacted the victim through his manager, offering her a role in his upcoming film.
The Tollywood Sexual Harassment Resolution Panel was formed following the controversial accusations made by actress Sri Reddy against several industry figures. The panel aims to address and resolve sexual harassment cases within the film industry.
