On Monday, Ghosh in a joint media press conference with Athawale, president of the Republican Party of India (RPI), had demanded that Kashyap should be immediately arrested. Union minister Athawale also announced that his party would stage protests if Kashyap isn’t arrested within a week.

Director and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has termed all allegations as “baseless.”
