#MeToo: Vipul Shah gets clean chit in sexual harassment case

Hyderabad: Filmmaker Vipul Shah, who was accused of sexual harassment by Iranian model-turned-actor Elnaaz Norouzi, has been given a clean chit by the Indian Film And Television Directors' Association (IFTDA).

The 'Namaste England' director has been given a clean chit by the IFTDA after interrogation by the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Committee.

The IFTDA'S letter published in a leading daily, states that Elnaaz had refused to cooperate and disclose the facts about the nature of the alleged sexual harassment before the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) even after Shah was ready to face Elnaaz and the consequences if found guilty.

Late last year, Elnaaz made headlines when she told a leading publication how the director kept her hanging for three months on the pretext of signing her as a second lead in the film and sexually harassed her multiple times during auditions.
