Tanushree Dutta Seeks Probe from Crime Branch in Nana Patekar #MeToo Case
Actor Tanushree Dutta on Tuesday, 3 September, urged the Mumbai police commissioner to order a fresh probe into her allegation of sexual harassment against actor Nana Patekar. Dutta demanded that the closure report filed by the police, which said that there was no evidence against Patekar, be scrapped, and the Crime Branch should take over the case. Her lawyer Nitin Satpute sent an email to police commissioner Sanjay Barve on Tuesday, seeking a fresh probe by the Crime Branch. The email claimed that the police did not investigate the alleged incident properly or arrest Patekar either because of fear or the “influence" of the accused.
In October 2018, Dutta had accused Nana Patekar of sexual misconduct on the sets of the film Horn Ok Pleasss in 2008. Patekar has denied all the allegations.
