An FIR was filed against him in which the complainant reportedly stated that Sachin sexually assaulted her by promising a chance in a music video and marriage. After being taken into custody, the music composer was released on bail. In a statement, his lawyer stated that the allegations against Sachin are baseless.

According to India Today, in a statement, Sachin's lawyer, Aditya Mithe, said, "The allegations in the FIR against my client are absolutely baseless and unsubstantiated. There are absolutely no merits to the case."
