Citing reason why she didn’t open up in all these years in her post, Vinta had written, “The only reason I’m telling this story now is that I don’t want that any girl should ever fear to hold the truth back. What followed because of my silence was even worse. I became easy prey because the message had been put out that I was afraid and so I would not open my mouth. The couple of times that I wrote about what I had gone through created more complications because I stopped getting work. To deal with all the fear and shame I drank myself silly almost every evening and even flirted with drugs.”

Let’s see what Alok has to say about this FIR now. For more updates on this story stay tuned.
