Actor Tanushree Dutta has slammed Mumbai police, for pushing aside as "false" and "malicious", the sexual allegations fees levelled by her in opposition to Nana Patekar and claimed that the veteran actor had bribed the police into filing the sort of document.
The actor in a observation mentioned, "The police were hand in hand with the accused right from day one."
"I want to ask how much money did Nana and his people pay the police to file such a report and call me a malicious liar," Dutta added.
Mumbai police had filed a 'B Summary' closure document, giving a blank chit to Nana Patekar, in connection with a 10-year-old harassment case, which allegedly happened on a film set.
A 'B Summary' document is filed when the police is unable to find proof in reinforce of the complaint filed and therefore makes a decision to discontinue the investigation.
In September 2018, Dutta had accused Patekar of misbehaving with her on the units of 'Horn OK Please' right through the capturing of a dance sequence, from which she sooner or later walked out. She went directly to file an FIR in opposition to the 'Welcome' big name who refuted all allegations.
The closure document by Oshiwara police station mentioned that Dutta filed a "false complaint with malicious intent" in opposition to Patekar and mentioned there used to be no point out of sexual misconduct in the proceedings filed with Cine and TV Artists Association (CINTAA) as well as the TV Producers Associations.
However, Tanushree claimed otherwise.
"The Mumbai Police lied in its report to the court that my complaint with CINTAA did not have sexual harassment in it. They were given the copy of my handwritten 2008 complaint to CINTAA that clearly mentioned sexual harassment corroborating my 2018 FIR. In 2008 they had refused to even take my FIR and twisted and manipulated the complaint to protect the accused. CINTAA had issued a written apology for not addressing that complaint." the observation read.
The B summary document also suggested that all the 13 eyewitnesses tested by the police did not point out any incident of sexual harassment.
Tanushree, then again, asserted that two witnesses, namely Janice Sequeira and Shyni Shetty, had given their testimony in her favour.
"The video of my car being attacked with my family on the same movie set also was submitted as evidence. And they had Janice Sequeira and Shyni Shetty giving witness testimony in my favour. What more proof does one need to prove harassment?? They produced bogus witnesses to corroborate with the accused and mislead the investigation," she mentioned.
The actor also claimed that in spite of repeated makes an attempt, the police by no means gave any information about any development in the investigation.
"This harassment incident took away my job, career, and livelihood and I had to start all over again in life in a new country. Because in India clearly justice, law, and order is for sale and criminals can buy themselves clean chit by spending crores on bribing law and judiciary whereas women who get harassed, abused and attacked and mob lynched in public get to be called false and malicious if they speak up and put forward a complaint," she wrote in the observation.
Referring to the entire incident as "corruption at its grossest level", the actor, bringing up Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the observation wrote, "Modi ji..what took place to a corruption unfastened India?? Being born in a religious Hindu circle of relatives maine toh suna tha ki Raam naam satya hai toh phir kyun is desh mein asatya aur adharm ki bar bar Vijay hoti rahi hai?? Jawab dijiye mujhe... (I have always heard that fact always wins, then why does falsehood and dishonesty triumph in this country? Answer me).
