With no progress on her sexual harassment case more than a fortnight after she first filed a written complaint at the Versova police station, actor Kritika Sharma has now filed a writ petition in the Bombay HC, seeking an FIR against Bollywood casting director Vicky Sidana. The matter is listed for November 22.

Meanwhile, Sidana has filed a civil defamation case for Rs 4 crore against her over her allegation that he attempted to rape her in 2013. Kritika's lawyer, Ashutosh Srivastava, said, "We have filed a criminal writ petition before the HC for directions to be given to the Maharashtra police to register an FIR."
