Sharma said, “My fight was with the watchman and those cops who did not allow me to go back, forcibly holding the elevator door open, even after I told them I would visit the police station the next morning. Police kept asking me to come to the police station at that odd hour. When I saw there was no way out of this deadlock, I got frustrated and as a last resort, I began to strip.”<doc-sep>Text Size: A- A+ Megha Sharma called the police after being allegedly harassed by a guard, and was forced to strip because she was being ‘dragged’ to the police station.

A much-known supermodel from Assam, Kawaljit Singh Anand is going vocal against designer Vijay Arora and has alleged him of sexual misconduct. Notably, Kawaljit, with this latest allegation on Vijay, has become the first male to speak up about sexual harassment as no male before he has said anything like this before. Moreover, in the fashion industry of the entire nation itself, Kawaljit is the second person after Diandra Soares. Kawaljit took to Facebook for his candid confession and allegation on Vijay Arora who removed him from selected models' list in multiple fashion weeks. He posted, “All this because I had pushed him away when he was trying to touch me inappropriately outside a party venue and while I was walking away angrily he told me categorically that he will make sure I never do any of the fashion weeks.” There are more to say on this matter by the model. He said that the designer sent him 'nasty' messages whenever Kawaljit would ask him for payment for the shows done for the Vijay. Kawaljit said that Vijay threatened him of not letting him walk for Lakme Fashion Week. Speaking as bout the #MeToo campaign, Kawaljit said that at first he was a bit hesitant in sharing what he has gone through. But now as he has chosen to open him mouth, he would now like to say that it is he who has started the #MenToo campaign on social media. He also gave the credit for his newly gained confidence of being vocal about the sexual harassments to his friends and admirers who had rendered him with the necessary support to speak up and take the lead. Kawaljit Singh Anand earned his present position and fame of being a supermodel after winning the title of Mr. India World in 2007. Kawaljit has already earned a lot of success and popularity in Mumbai and has also judged and mentored various personality development workshops. Praising the courage showed by Kawaljit, various eminent personalities of the Indian film and entertainment industry like Diandra Soares, Natasha Singh and Dipannita Sharma etc came in support of him. Seeing the support he has received from the women in the industry, Kawaljit added that if men start getting such supports from women then it will perhaps open the floodgates to many more horrifying stories of men.<doc-sep>
Mumbai, Oct 31: Model Megha Sharma, whose video of stripping in front of the cops went viral narrated the whole incident and her ordeal to news agency ANI. Sharma told that she wanted cigarettes and hence called the watchman to get her a few to which he refused saying that he was on duty. She then asked the watchman if he could send any of the three to four security guards to get her cigarettes to which she was refused again. #WATCH: Model Megha Sharma, who in a viral video was seen thrashing a security guard and sitting in protest when the police came to take her, narrates the chain of events which took place at the time of the incident. #Mumbai pic.twitter.com/iWvHHVH9Mu ANI (@ANI) October 30, 2018 She went down and got herself a smoke but she also talked to the guard as to why could he not have asked one of the watchmen to go. She then told an ANI reporter that the guard threw a fit and went on to call her 'characterless' and comment upon her attire. She added that he said, "We are not here to treat you like a princess." Infuriated by this, she hit him. Another watchman joined the argument shortly and started hurling abuses at her. It was then that she herself called the police and a team from Oshiwara police station arrived within 10 minutes. The police then asked her to come to the police station but she politely refused at first, saying that since there is no lady constable available, she would go to the police station the next morning. She said that she did not feel comfortable and safe going to the police station wearing what she was wearing at 2.50 am. She offered her lawyer's number and asked to be let go as she had a shoot early morning but she claimed that the cops kept insisting that she had to come with them. When she pressed the lift button, 8-10 men surrounded her and tried to take her out of the elevator, all the while reiterating that she would have to go to the police station. Story continues She claimed that she had almost even agreed to go with them but she wanted to go change into something comfortable but she was not allowed to, as could have been very well seen in the visuals that went viral. It was then, all of a sudden, she claimed that she went blank and her mind stopped working. In a fit of rage, she took off her clothes, which she said was the most mortifying incident of her life. She added that she feared, even in presence of the cops that she could have been raped. She still insists on being told why a lady constable was not there at the time. The entire incident took place on October 25 at Lokhandwala Complex where the woman lives on rent. According to the police, Sharma had complained against Arun, watchman of the building. She alleged that he misbehaved with her and that the altercation started as he refused to get cigarettes for her. Meanwhile, a non-cognisable complaint has been registered against the model. This issue has been a hot subject of debate on the social media. The social media is in fact divided on this issue, with a section questioning her behaviour with the guard. Many said that it was wrong on her part to attack the guard. Others however stood in solidarity with her.
