Actor-singer Karan Oberoi , the poster boy of the #MenToo movement in India, and writer-director Manish Gupta , who wrote the story, screenplay and dialogues for the movie ‘ Section 375 ’ have come together to fight the menace of fake rape cases in India. Karan and Manish have been organising special screenings of Manish’s movie ‘Section 375’ to help MRAs (Mens’ Rights Activists) spread awareness about fake rape cases. Manish and Karan personally attend these screenings and offer legal advice and moral support to men falsely accused in rape cases.Karan, who was accused of rape and extortion by a Mumbai-based tantrik in May, 2019, says, “I’ve lived through this trauma and it nearly destroyed my life. I was lucky to have been blessed with immense support and love, but there are many, who aren’t so fortunate. I feel morally obliged to help others in a similar situation.”He adds, "These are very pertinent films, as they are a mirror to society. These films have the ability to make people see the fault lines that exist within our society. The fact that we have an evolved and more receptive audiences to this form of story telling, is a testimony to the fact that a lot of people are waking up to this hash reality that plagues our nation. For me, it’s almost cathartic to experience this on the screen. My association with this film is only to the extent that I understand and appreciate that it’s a very well-researched, documented and written. We have decided to come together and take this initiative forward.”Manish adds, “While rape is rampant in our country and conviction rates are low, fake rape cases are also a disturbing reality. The message of ‘Section 375’ is that while a fake rape case destroys the accused man’s life, all women in a holistic way are adversely affected by a fake rape case, because fake complaints cast a shadow of doubt over the testimony of genuine rape, molestation and harassment survivors. Through these screenings, I’m trying to spread awareness that nearly 80 per cent of all rape cases in India are registered by the man’s ex-girlfriend, live-in partner or fiancée, as a tool for vendetta, settling scores, extortion or other personal agendas. These screenings are part of a campaign that’s demanding from lawmakers, gender-equality in law.”
