Dhurandhar production designer FIR has brought fresh controversy to the film industry after Chandigarh Police registered a case against production designer Saini S Johray following allegations of sexual harassment, wrongful confinement and drink spiking. The case was filed after a woman approached the Sector-17 police station with a written complaint detailing a series of alleged incidents.
According to police records, the complainant, a New Delhi resident, submitted her statement on April 20. After a preliminary inquiry, Chandigarh Police registered an FIR under Sections 74, 79, 123 and 126(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Johray, associated with Dhurandhar and known for designing a large-scale Lyari Town replica in Thailand for the film, has since secured bail while the investigation continues.
Chandigarh sexual harassment case linked to Dhurandhar team
The complainant alleged that she joined the Dhurandhar project as an assistant art director in September 2025 after her resume was reportedly forwarded by a college faculty member. According to her complaint, Johray introduced himself as a mentor, which helped establish professional trust.
She further alleged that she was later invited to a room at a Chandigarh hotel under the pretext of a work-related discussion. According to her version, she believed the meeting involved other crew members but discovered upon arrival that no team gathering had been arranged.
