IWCC rejects cinematographer Pratik's 'apology' in sexual misconduct row, calls it 'PR strategy'

Indian Women Cinematographers' Collective rejected Homebound cinematographer Pratik Shah's apology over sexual abuse allegations, calling it a "cynical PR strategy." It said, "He has crafted a narrative that demands empathy for abuser." "By framing his predatory actions as...flaw born of desperate need for validation, Shah attempts to downgrade his behaviour from predatory to pathetic," it added.
