Overview
- Kashyap told Hindustan Times he has never been to Beijing and dismissed the mention as a random email, adding he frequently ignores speaking invitations.
- The U.S. Department of Justice on January 30 released more than three million Epstein-related documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
- An email in the trove refers to a “Bollywood guy,” identified in coverage as Kashyap, in exchanges involving Giuseppe Bersani, Gino Yu and Ornella Corazza about proposed gatherings in places such as Shanghai, Cuba and an alleged 2017 Beijing event.
- Media reviews of the material report no evidence that Kashyap met Epstein, attended any listed events or engaged in criminal activity, and note he does not appear in verified court filings tied to wrongdoing.
- Screenshots of the email spread widely online as reports also flagged other Indian or Indian-origin figures named in varied contexts, including Mira Nair, Nandita Das, Deepak Chopra and Anil Ambani.
