Acting swiftly to evade political backlash, actor-politician Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena Party (a member of the BJP-led alliance at the centre) has ordered Master to stay away.
Choreographer Jani Master - whose real name is Shaik Jani Basha and who works primarily in the Telugu and Tamil film industries - and has been accused of sexual harassment by a 21-year-old woman employee.
Police in Telangana's Rayadurgam have filed a 'zero' FIR, or a first information report, based on a complaint by the woman who said Jani Master, who has also worked in Kannada and Hindi films, assaulted multiple times, including once at a Mumbai hotel.
The cops are trying to contact the woman to record a detailed statement, but she is "unreachable" at this time, Chief Inspector Krishna Reddy told reporters Tuesday afternoon.
