Who is Jani Master? All about National Award-winning choreographer facing rape charges
Shaik Jani Basha, aka Jani Master, is facing sexual assault charges. A 21-year-old woman has come forward accusing Basha of repeatedly subjecting her to sexual abuse. Responding to her claims, the Cyberabad Raidurgam police registered a zero First Information Report (FIR) against him.
The woman stated that she had collaborated with Jani on multiple work projects, during which he allegedly abused her for several months. According to her, the assaults occurred repeatedly while they were working together in various locations, including Chennai, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. She also reported to the authorities that Jani had violated her several times at her own home in Narsingi, Hyderabad.
According to a report in The Hindu, a high-ranking police official confirmed the developments, noting that an in-depth investigation is currently underway. Given the woman’s residence in Narsingi, he stated that the case had been handed over to the local police, who will now proceed with further inquiries.
Jani, who previously worked as a choreographer for Salman Khan in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, had earlier faced a six-month sentence for his involvement in a violent altercation at a college in 2015. He had been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including assault on a woman (Section 354), causing hurt (Section 324), and criminal intimidation (Section 506). However, the Medchal court dismissed the charge of assault against a woman (354), ultimately convicting him under the remaining sections.
