Dancers Association shocks Jani master. Renowned choreographer Jani Master has been arrested in Goa following allegations of sexual harassment. A case was registered against him after a female choreographer filed a complaint with the Hyderabad police. Jani Master, who was absconding after the allegations surfaced, was apprehended by authorities.
The Hyderabad police will present Jani Master before a local court today as the investigation into the matter continues. The incident has sent shockwaves through the Telugu film and TV industry, where Jani Master serves as the President of the Dancers Association.
In response to the allegations, the Telugu Film and TV Dancers and Dance Directors Association has suspended Jani Master's membership pending an inquiry. The decision came after a meeting of the association's members.
The Telugu Film Chamber has urged Tollywood celebrities to refrain from making public statements about the case, emphasizing that the matter is currently under investigation. The Chamber's Sexual Harassment Redressal Panel has taken the allegations seriously and is conducting a thorough investigation.
The female choreographer approached the Telugu Film Chamber ten days ago to report the harassment. Subsequently, she filed a police complaint, leading to the case being transferred to Narsingi police station. Jani Master has been booked under various sections of the relevant laws.
