Sachin Sanghvi, of the composer duo Sachin-Jigar, arrested after a woman alleged he lured her via Instagram, promised a music role and marriage and assaulted her, probe ongoing.
Sachin Sanghvi Arrested
Bollywood composer-singer Sachin Sanghvi — one half of the popular duo Sachin-Jigar known for songs in Stree 2 and Bhediya — was arrested after a woman in her 20s alleged he sexually assaulted her after promising a role in his music album and proposing marriage. The complaint says Sanghvi first contacted the woman on Instagram in February 2024 and later called her to his studio, where the alleged assaults took place on multiple occasions.
Police action followed the formal complaint and subsequent probe; Sanghvi was taken into custody as part of the investigation under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Several outlets report Sanghvi was produced before a magistrate and granted bail while investigation continues, with law enforcement collecting digital evidence, studio records and witness statements as part of the forensic inquiry. Media coverage indicates prosecutors will review call logs, messages and other digital traces to corroborate the complainant’s timeline.
The allegation has significant industry implications because Sachin-Jigar are established composers with multiple mainstream credits. Entertainment desks are tracking statements from Sanghvi’s legal team, which has contested the claims and called for a full legal defence; meanwhile police have urged anyone with relevant information to come forward to assist the probe. The case has already sparked broader conversations in the film and music community about studio safety, online recruitment practices for aspiring artists, and the need for clearer grievance channels.
