Bollywood actor Tanushree Dutta slammed police after veteran actor Nana Patekar got clean chit due to lack of evidence in sexual harassment case.
The Ashiq Banaya Aapne filed a case against Patekar last year in September accusing him of assaulting her on the sets of Horn Ok Please’ in 2008 while shooting for a special dance number for the movie.
Mumbai police closed the case on Thursday on account of evidence not found against the accused.
After getting to know about it, Dutta claimed that her witnesses “have been silenced by intimidation.” She said in a statement “A corrupt police force and legal system giving a clean chit to an even more corrupt person Nana who has been accused even in the past of bullying, intimidation and harassment by several women in the film Industry.”
She further added “Our witnesses have been silenced by intimidation and fake witnesses have been put forth to weaken the case. What was the rush to file a B summary report when all of my witnesses have not even recorded their statements yet?”
A ‘B Summary’ report when the police decides to discontinue the investigation due to not finding evidence in support of the complaint filed.
Dutta said she will continue her fight and hopes justice will be served eventually.
