Casting agent Swapnil Lokhande was arrested by the Aarey (Bombay) police on November 30 after a 32-year-old starlet complained that he had demanded sexual favours from her. He was booked under IPC provisions for molestation. He was later released on bail by a local court.
According to the complaint filed by the model, who was trying for a break in Marathi TV and web shows, 35-year-old Lokhande called her up on 23rd February, demanding sexual favours in exchange for getting her good roles. Later, she added, he even threatened to defame her if she refused to give in to his demands.
