Woman Withdraws Rape Complaint Against Maha Kumbh Girl Monalisa's Director, Says 'Realised My Mistake'
The woman claimed that she fell prey to the conspiracy by opponents of Sanoj Mishra and also held Wasim Rizvi and four others responsible if anything happened to her.
Days after film director Sanoj Mishra was arrested on charges of rape, the woman who filed the complaint claimed that she had become part of a “conspiracy". A video that was posted from the official Instagram handle of Sanoj shows the woman issuing a clarification, also saying that she had withdrawn her complaint.
The woman alleged that she had been manipulated into filing a false case against Sanoj Mishra. She also claimed to have been harassed and threatened when she tried to withdraw the case, and accused film producer Wasim Rizvi and four others of endangering her life and reputation.

“I was working with Sanoj Mishra on ‘The Diary of West Bengal’. After the movie was shot, people started provoking me. Around the same time, Monalisa (of Mahakumbh fame) came into the picture and went viral with Sanoj Mishra. During that period, people sent me fake photos and instigated me a lot. They created such a situation and mentally harassed me to the point that, in anger, I filed a case against Sanoj Mishra. Later, when I found out the truth, I felt terrible. Then, when I went to court to submit an affidavit to withdraw my case, people threatened and intimidated me. They said, ‘I will get you jailed,'" she said in the video.
Adding that she had now realised her mistake, she also held Wasim Rizvi and four others responsible if anything happened to her, saying, “If anything happens to me or if I die by suicide, Wasim Rizvi and four others will be responsible. These people are playing with a girl’s dignity. Despite my refusal, they leaked my FIR on social media and are falsely framing someone. I realised the mistake I made in anger and withdrew the case, but these people don’t want that."
