Director Sanoj Mishra, who offered a film to Maha Kumbh viral girl Monalisa, has been arrested.Â
The action was taken after the Delhi High Court refused to grant anticipatory bail to the film director accused of raping a girl and clicking her obscene photographs. The girl from a small town aspired to become an actress. The court had said that this is not a case of granting bail after arrest but a matter of anticipatory bail for a film director.
Serious Allegations and Court’s Response
The accused is alleged to have repeatedly raped the girl. The court stated that granting anticipatory bail in such cases would send the wrong message to society, creating a perception that such girls can be sexually exploited without consequences.
The film director’s defense argued that the girl had consensual relations with him and that she had submitted an affidavit to the court stating that the FIR was a result of a misunderstanding. She also mentioned that she had no objection if the accused was granted bail.
However, the court was not convinced by this argument. It stated that given the allegations that the film director took obscene photos and videos of the girl and threatened to make them public if she did not comply with his demands, it did not believe that the girl’s statement was made without pressure.
The court also noted that the girl had undergone multiple abortions. To gather more information and obtain obscene photos/videos, custodial interrogation of the accused is necessary. Therefore, the court rejected the anticipatory bail plea.
Sanoj Mishra, the proprietor of Sanoj Mishra Films, has been active in the Hindi film industry for the last thirty years. Associated with journalism and writing, Sanoj has been a part of many big Bollywood films as an assistant. He was born on 11 August 1977 in Haidergarh, Barabanki district, Uttar Pradesh and after his primary education in Shivgarh Raebareli, he was educated at Shia PG College, Lucknow, where he obtained a master’s degree in sociology.
According to the victim, she met Sanoj Mishra in the year 2020 through TikTok and Instagram. At that time she lived in Jhansi. The two kept talking for some time and then the director called her on June 17, 2021 and told her that he had reached Jhansi railway station. When the victim refused to meet citing social pressure, the accused threatened to commit suicide. After this, the victim went to meet him out of fear. The next day on June 18, 2021, the accused called again and threatened to commit suicide and called her to the railway station.
Exploited by luring her to get work in films

The victim told in the FIR that the accused made objectionable pictures and videos of her and threatened that if she protested, he would make them public.
