<p>Actor-filmmaker Sajid Khan has been accused with fresh sexual misconduct charges. A model has claimed that Khan tried to touch her inappropriately and also asked her to strip before him.</p>
<p>On Friday, the hashtag #ArrestSajidKhan started trending on Twitter following the latest MeToo claim against Khan.</p>
<p>The allegations have been posted on an unverified Instagram account of Dimple Paul, with the handle paulaa__official.</p>
<p>"When #MeToo movement started, a lot of people spoke about Sajid Khan but I did not dare to because like every other actor who has no godfather and had to earn for a family I kept quiet. Now I don't have my parents with me. I'm earning for myself. I can dare to tell that I have been harassed by Sajid Khan at the age of 17," she stated.</p>

<p>She went on to narrate the incident, saying it happened during an audition.</p>
<p>"He spoke dirty to me. He tried to touch me. He even told me to strip in front of him just to get a role in his upcoming Housefull movie," she shared.</p>
<p>Concluding her post, Dimple added: "God knows with how many girls he has done this. I am coming out now not for any pity party. It's just that I realised that had affected me so bad when I was a child and chose not to speak. But it's high time no? These B**t*rds should be behind bars not only for casting couch but also for manipulating and for stealing away your dreams. But I did not stop!! But the wrong I did was not to speak about it!"</p>
<p>While posting the note, Dimple put a caption: "Before democracy dies and there is no freedom of speech anymore I thought I should speak!"</p>
<p>After the latest claims surfaced against Khan, one user wrote: "Once again, filmmaker Sajid Khan has been accused of harassing a model. Why is it that small and poor people are ignored all the time? Why is this Sajid Khan not arrested? #ArrestSajidKhan."</p>
<p>"This guy is serial sexual offender, he should be behind the bars #ArrestSajidKhan," another user wrote.</p>
<p>Back in 2018, multiple women had come out to share their #MeToo experiences against Sajid Khan, following which he stepped down as director of "Housefull 4", which released last year.</p>
<p>Khan has been named by multiple women including two actresses -- Sonali Chopra and Rachel White -- and one journalist for sexual misconduct. He has been called out not just for harassment but also for allegedly flashing women.</p>
<p>In response, Sajid had tweeted back then: "In the wake of the allegations against me and the pressure being put on my family, my producer and the stars of my film 'Housefull 4', I must take the moral responsibility of stepping down from my directorial post, till the time I can allay the allegations and prove the truth... I request my friends in the media to kindly not pass judgment till the truth is out."</p>
<p>Since then, the director has remained silent about the accusations. He is yet to respond to the latest allegation.</p>
