Veteran Indian actor Alok Nath, accused of rape and harassment by writer/producer Vinta Nanda and former co-stars Sandhya Mridul and Navneet Nishan, has been expelled from the Cine and TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA), reports Times of India.

CINTAA issued a notification on Twitter:

The notification comes after Alok Nath was a no-show at a meeting with CINTAA in which his accuser Vinta Nanda was also present.

CINTAA functions as a trade union that looks after the rights of the members of the entertainment industry.

Vinta expressed her gratitude to CINTAA for taking her complaint seriously:

The Indian press claims that the expulsion could spell the end of Alok Nath's career.
