Actor Alok Nath, accused of rape by writer producer Vinta Nanda has moved the court pleading for anticipatory bail. Describing Vinta’s allegation as malicious, Alok’s lawyer is quoted as saying, “She has woken up like Rip Van Winkle after 20 years to file the case. My client’s reputation is affected.
