Actor Prasad Behara recently made headlines after being arrested in a sexual harassment case and sent to jail. He has been remanded for 14 days following allegations made by actress Kanchan Bamne. According to the complaint filed with the Jubilee Hills police, Prasad reportedly insulted her in front of the crew during the shoot of the web series Mechanic. The actress alleged that he hit her on the lower back, used inappropriate language, and hurled abuses at her.
Prasad Behara’s Version of Events
According to sources close to the actor, Prasad claims he and Kanchan have been friends for some time. He reportedly mentioned to his friends that Kanchan has a minor speech issue, which led to difficulty in delivering her lines during the shoot. Prasad, being involved in the production, supposedly decided to reduce her role in the series due to these challenges.
Prasad also claims that during the shoot, Kanchan struggled with her dialogues, prompting him to express frustration in front of the crew. However, after the shot was completed, Prasad allegedly tried to lighten the mood by joking with her in his usual style, believing their rapport allowed for it. As part of this interaction, he reportedly touched her playfully, which Kanchan appears to have interpreted differently.
Prasad further told his friends that he attempted to reconcile with her later, but she remained upset. After the shoot concluded, Kanchan approached the police to file her complaint, which led to his arrest.
What’s Next?
Prasad’s side of the story presents a different perspective, but the case now hinges on evidence and witness accounts. Industry insiders who are familiar with the incident will likely play a crucial role in determining the outcome. For now, the situation remains unresolved as investigations continue to uncover the truth.
