Actor Arjun Sarja has shared a note on his Instagram story with fans that he has tested positive for Covid-19. He wrote- "I have taken all the necessary protocols and isolated myself. I'm doing well." He also asked anyone who came in contact with him to get tested.
Recently, the actor was cleared of sexual misconduct charges levelled against him by actress Sruthi Hariharan when she came out with her '#MeToo' story. The Karnataka police have submitted a 'B-report' to the First Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) court in this regard, police said on Tuesday.
Actress Sruthi Hariharan has made a four-page statement against Arjun Sarja on her social media as part of 'Me Too campaign' and revealed how she was affected by the incident voicing her support for the #MeToo Movement. The case was taken up by the Cubbon Park police in Bengaluru for investigation three years ago.
Sruthi alleged that before a shot, the actor, on the pretext of a rehearsal, hugged her and ran his hands up and down her back without her consent. "I was aghast. I am all for depicting realism in cinema, but this felt absolutely wrong. His intent seemed anything but professional. I hated that he did it and was angry that I didn't know what to say then," Sruti wrote.
