A 21-year-old employee accused Telugu choreographer Jani Master of sexual harassment over several years, including when she was a minor.
Telugu choreographer Jani Master was today granted bail by the Telangana High Court in a sexual harassment case. Master - who has worked on dance sequences in big-ticket films like 'Baahubali' and 'Pushpa: The Rise' - was arrested last month after a 21-year-old employee accused him of sexual harassment over several years, including when she was a minor.
The young woman said she first met Jani Master - whose real name is Shaik Jani Basha - at an event in 2017. Two years later he offered her a job as an assistant choreographer, which she accepted.
The alleged sexual assaults took place subsequently, including once at a hotel Master and she, as well as two other male dancers, were staying in during a show in Mumbai.
