Shwetha Ranjan, a reporter of Janmat channel, lodged the complaint at the Juhu police station alleging that the Congress MP snatched her tapes after giving him an interview at his office in Juhu.
The interview took place between 8 and 9.30 p.m. Thursday.
"He answered all my questions about the Bollywood-underworld nexus, about the tape featuring him alongside Dawood Ibrahim and his failure as a politician," the journalist told the media.
"But after the interview he started misbehaving. Despite my protest he took away my camera. Though he returned the camera, the tape of the interview is still with him," she said.
According to police officials, cases of assault and of issuing threats have been booked against Govinda.
The actor later called up the journalist and apologised to her, the police said.
