Following art director Rajesh Sapte's suicide, members of the Indian Film and TV Producers' Council (IFTPC) met on Tuesday to discuss actionable measures against harassment. A member present at the meeting says, "Rajesh's death has exposed the hafta culture. We are making strict rules regarding who can enter a set." On July 3, before his death, the Pune-based art director made a video, accusing Rakesh Mourya, treasurer, Film Studios Setting All Mazdoor Union (FSSAMU) of harassment and extortion. It is said that Mourya threatened to disrupt Sapte's set if he did not pay the extortion amount.
