According to an India Today report, the complainant alleged that Sanghvi sexually assaulted her after promising her a role in a music video and even marriage. Following the filing of an FIR, Sachin was taken into custody but was later released on bail.
In a statement to the media, Sanghvi’s lawyer Aditya Mithe called the allegations “absolutely baseless and baseless” and added that his client’s detention was “illegal”. He added: “The case has absolutely no merit. We intend to defend all allegations fully and unequivocally.”
Sachin himself is yet to publicly comment on the matter and his Instagram account, @soulfulsachin, has been deactivated. However, the official account of the duo, Sachin-Jigar, remains active.
This isn’t the first time a Maddock Films project has been caught up in similar controversy. Last year, during the success of Street 2choreographer Jani Master (real name Shaik Jani Basha), who worked on the song Aaj Ki Raatwas accused of sexual assault by a former assistant choreographer. The victim, who was 21 at the time the case was filed, alleged that she was subjected to harassment and assault by Jani Master for six years, starting when she was a minor.
Following her complaint, Jani Master was arrested by the Cyberabad Police in Goa on September 19, 2024, under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act. He later confessed to the assault and was released on bail by the Telangana High Court on October 24, 2024, on condition that he cooperate with the investigation and not contact the victim.
