“We were contacted for a dance show by one Sanjay Choudhury and had a conversation with Kuddus Ali over the phone on 7 June 2019. A contract of Rs 37,000 was signed between the parties. Accordingly, we reached the spot at around 8 pm. Later, we were forced to enter into a barricaded place and female dancers were molested,” elaborated the complainant.
