A case was registered against choreographer Jani Master on Sunday for alleged sexual harassment. Jani, who primarily works in Telugu and Tamil cinema, was booked for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman, who had worked with him earlier.

Based on the woman’s complaint, the Raifurgam police registered a zero FIR against Jani and transferred the same to Narsingi police station, under whose jurisdiction the woman’s residence falls. Jani Master was booked under clause (2) and (n) of section 376 (rape), criminal intimidation (506) and voluntarily causing hurt (323) of the IPC, said the police.

It is to be noted that earlier in 2019, Jani was reportedly sentenced to six months in Jail for a brawl at a college in 2015. Earlier this year, another choreographer named Satish had alleged Jani of harassment, and of using his clout to prevent Satish from getting work in movies.

Jani, who has been active as a choreographer since 2009, had last worked for the Rajinikanth starrer Jailer
