- The Maharashtra State Commission for Women (MSCW) has issued a summons to Salman Khan, asking him to appear before it on 7 July over his rape remarks after the Bollywood superstar failed to turn up on Wednesday in response to its notice.
- The actor sent a letter to the panel yesterday through his lawyer stating that the case is already being heard by the National Commission for Women (NCW) and the matter cannot be heard simultaneously at two places.
After considering his response, the panel expressed dissatisfaction over the actor’s argument.
- In Delhi, NCW chairperson Lalitha Kumaramangalam said in her reply that Salman was “not apologetic” and that the panel was examining its mandate to deal with such instances and the legalities involved. Since it was delivered by his lawyer, it classifies as a legal reply which can not be treated as a reply off the cuff.
