Manish Gupta Denies Stabbing Driver; Says Allegations are ‘False’
In a shocking turn of events, Bollywood writer-director Manish Gupta has denied all the allegations made against him by his driver, Rajibul Islam Lashkar. According to reports, Lashkar had accused Gupta of stabbing him in the stomach with a kitchen knife after a payment dispute.
The incident reportedly took place on January 10th, when Lashkar claimed that Gupta had attacked him at his residence in Mumbai. Lashkar filed a complaint with the police and an FIR was registered against Gupta. However, Gupta has now come forward to deny all the allegations, stating that they are completely false.
In a statement, Gupta said, “The statement made by the complainant Rabijul in the FIR is completely false. I have never attacked or hurt anyone in my life, and I will never do so. The allegations made against me are baseless and I am confident that the truth will come out soon.”
Gupta’s denial has raised several questions about the authenticity of Lashkar’s claims. If the allegations are indeed false, then what could have led Lashkar to make such a serious accusation against his employer? Was there a genuine payment dispute, or was there something more sinister at play?
It is also worth noting that Gupta has a clean reputation in the industry, with no previous history of violent behavior or legal troubles. If the allegations were true, it would be a significant departure from his otherwise spotless record.
The police are currently investigating the matter and have collected evidence from the crime scene. They have also recorded statements from Lashkar and several other witnesses. The investigation is ongoing, and it remains to be seen whether Gupta’s denial will be enough to clear his name.
In the meantime, the Bollywood industry is abuzz with speculation about the incident. Many of Gupta’s colleagues and friends have come forward to support him, saying that they are shocked by the allegations.
“I know Manish personally, and I can vouch for his character,” said a friend of Gupta’s. “He is a kind and gentle person who would never resort to violence. I am confident that the truth will come out soon, and Manish’s name will be cleared.”
Gupta’s team has also issued a statement denying the allegations, saying that they are “baseless and motivated by malicious intent”. They have promised to cooperate fully with the police investigation and to clear Gupta’s name.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the industry, with many people wondering what could have led to such a serious accusation. As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen whether Gupta’s denial will be enough to clear his name, or if there is more to the story than meets the eye.
