Actress 'groped' in elevator

Rhea Chakraborty who made her debut last year with Mere Dad Ki Maruti has filed a complaint in Khar police station, accusing an unnamed man of groping her in her apartment complex's elevator.

The incident happened on Tuesday and the former VJ then took to Twitter, writing, "I just got groped by a very well dressed man who casually walks into my building in broad daylight, with 2 watchmen chilling in the building (sic)."

Speaking about the incident, DCP Mahesh Patil, spokesperson of Mumbai Police, said, "On 18.3.14, at about 17.40 hours, Rhea Indrajit Chakravorty, aged 21, entered her building's lift when an unknown person, who was using the staircase, suddenly entered the lift and tried to talk to the lady. Sensing trouble, she kicked the person out of the lift, who then fled. Since she was frightened by the incident she called the police station. Necessary assistance was provided and N.C.(non cognizable) complaint was registered." 

Meanwhile, Rhea too issued a statement, saying, "I would like to thank everyone for their support and encouraging words. I tweeted about this unfortunate incident to highlight the dismal reality and ask all women to be more aware. The police are doing their job and I am confident they will get to the bottom of this matter."
