Sachin Sanghvi of Sachin-Jigar Duo Arrested for Sexual Assault Lawyer Responds
Singer and music composer Sachin Sanghvi, one half of the popular duo Sachin-Jigar, has been arrested following allegations of sexual assault. He is known for his compositions in films such as Thamma, Bhediya, Maalik and Param Sundari among others.
According to the complaint, a woman in her 20s alleged that Sachin initially contacted her via Instagram in February last year and offered her work on his music album. The two later exchanged phone number and eventually started meeting each other. The woman claims that during one of these meetings at his studio, Sachin proposed marriage to her and then sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions.
In response to these allegations, Sachin’s lawyer Aditya Mithe dismissed the claims as baseless. He said, “The allegations in the FIR against my client are absolutely baseless and unsubstantiated. There are absolutely no merits to the case. My client’s detention by the police was illegal and that is the reason why he was released on bail immediately. We intended to defend all allegations fully and unequivocally.”
Sachin Sanghvi has not publicly commented on the matter yet but has deactivated his Instagram account. Jigar Saraiya, his work partner in the duo, has also refrained from making any statements.
Sachin-Jigar have been prominent figures in the music industry and are known for their contribution to Bollywood and Gujarati music. Sachin worked as a programmer for music directors such as AR Rahman and Pritam before joining Jigar in 2009. They debuted as a duo with the 2011 film FALTU and worked on films such as ABCD, Badlapur, Go Goa Gone, Stree, Stree 2, Ramaiyaa Vastavaiyya among others. Their most recnet work is in the film Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. It was released on October 21.
