Swastika Mukherjee files complaint against film producer for threat emails, morphed pics

Actor Swastika Mukherjee has accused Sandeep Sarkar, co-producer of her upcoming film 'Shibpur', of sending her threatening emails. She claimed that he and his associates asked her to 'cooperate' with them and also claimed they have threatened to leak her morphed, nude pictures on pornography sites.

Swastika had filed a complaint at Kolkata's Golf Green Police Station last month and also sought help from Eastern India Motion Pictures Association.

The actor opened up about the harassment in an interview with OTT Play and said that she was never introduced to Sandeep during the entire course of shooting and dubbing. Another co-producer Ajanta Sinha Roy communicated with them and he suddenly started sending threatening emails to her.

Swastika further said that Sandeep claimed to be an American citizen and threatened her that if she didn't cooperate he would get in touch with the US Consulate so that she never gets a US visa. He also threatened to drag her to the Police Commissioner, Chief Minister, and so on.

Besides Swastika, her manager also received threatening mail from Ravish Sharma, who claimed to be Sandeep Sarkar's friend.

Swastika Mukherjee was last seen in ‘Qala’ alongside Tripti Dimri and Babil Khan. Her Bengali film, ‘Shibpur’, was initially scheduled to release in March, but now it will hit the theatres on May 5.
