Internal POSH Probe Found Dhurandhar Designer Guilty, Credit Removed From New OTT Release

The developments raise questions about studio transparency by highlighting the gap between an internal workplace finding and an ongoing criminal case.

Overview

  • A crew member filed a formal complaint with B62 Studios in October 2025, prompting the studio to activate its Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) committee.
  • The POSH committee completed a roughly six-month inquiry and by late March–April 2026 reportedly found production designer Saini S Johray guilty on two counts, including sexual molestation and tampering with evidence.
  • Police records show the complainant filed a written complaint in Chandigarh on April 20, 2026, an FIR was registered under specified Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections, Johray was arrested and later granted bail as legal proceedings continue.
  • Johray’s name appeared in a January 30, 2026 OTT version of Dhurandhar but was removed from the streamer’s May 22, 2026 ‘Raw and Undekha’ version and is absent from the sequel’s IMDb entry, and other productions have removed his credit.
  • The studio has not provided an on-record comment and the POSH finding remains an internal workplace determination that is separate from the criminal case, raising questions about disclosure, industry crediting practices and protections for crew.
