Film producer booked for 'cheating' model; duo clash at film premiere
Mumbai (PTI): An FIR was registered against the producer of Hindi film So Long Valley for allegedly cheating model Ruchi Gujjar of Rs 23 lakh, a Mumbai Police official said on Saturday.
Viral videos, meanwhile, showed Gujjar purportedly slapping the producer, Karan Singh, during the movie premiere event held on Friday night.
An Oshiwara police station official confirmed that an FIR was registered against Singh under various sections for cheating on a complaint lodged by Gujjar on Thursday.
The model alleged that Singh had taken money from her under the pretext of launching a movie project for a television channel, and promised her a share in the profit and on-screen credit, the official said.
"The complainant stated that the project never materialised and Singh didn't return her money," he said.
Gujjar's lawyer said a separate FIR would be lodged against Singh at Amboli police station for assaulting the actor.
So Long Valley is a Hindi-language crime thriller film starring Tridha Choudhury and Vikram Kochhar.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
