Nana Patekar has issued a notice to the Cine and TV Artists Association (Cinttaa). Alok Nath had been issued a notice to the Federation of Western Cine Employees. Now, a woman has accused Piyush Mishra.

A former newspaper staffer Ketki Joshi in a Facebook post came against Piyush Mishra. In 2014 she met him as a fan in a party where Piyush Mishra was invited as a chief guest.

He then started light flirting in front of approximately 20-25 people, sang a song looking right into my eyes. Everything was pleasant until then. I took it as harmless flirting. He was drinking all through the party and was too drunk by the time of wrap up

He grabbed her hand and started rubbing his hand against her.

I pleaded to the host with my eyes to do something. She understood and told, “Ketki, come and help me bring the things from the terrace.

And did the same again:

As I was making another round to terrace, he again grabbed my hand and started rubbing it. I stood there waiting for someone to come n take him to his car. He suddenly stood up and took a step towards me. I sensed he was coming to hug me or grope me. I told in an authoritative raised voice, “Aap please baith jaaiye”. The others listened to it and quickly came there and took me away
