Farooqui directed the satirical 'Peepli Live' with his wife, Anusha Rizvi.
A Delhi court has convicted Peepli Live co-director Mahmood Farooqui for raping a US researcher. The sentence will be decided on August 2.
A student at the Columbia University in New York, the 35-year-old woman, had told the police that she was raped by Farooqui at his Sukhdev Vihar residence in Delhi on March 28 in 2015.
The two were at a party and Farooqui had reportedly gotten drunk and taken her to a different room in the house and forced himself on her.
The woman met Farooqui in Varanasi where she had gone to collect information. Farooqui was helping her with her research work.
Farooqui directed the satirical Peepli Live with his wife, Anusha Rizvi. The film released in 2010 and was produced by Aamir Khan.
