The pioneer of the Me Too Movement in Bollywood, Tanushree Dutta recently interacted with the media along with her lawyer Nitin Satpute in Mumbai. Despite filing a 'B-Summary' report against Nana Patekar in case of sexual harassment, the actor had been offered clean chit due to the lack of evidence, which had left Dutta furious. 

She filed a protest petition against the B-summary report filed by the Mumbai Police. The petition demanded the court to file a case against the investigating officer as he has been accused of filing a false report and the case should be registered against him by the Anti Corruption Bureau. 

While interacting with the media, Tanushree compared Nana Patekar to Asaram Bapu, who is a self-proclaimed saint but was found guilty of raping a minor girl in the year 2018.  "If you have money, you will get justice and respect but if you don't have money then you will not get that. He has money and he got that money from Naam Foundation. It collects crores of rupees from corporate sectors for the upliftment of poor farmers. He has created his image as a poor man who lives in a small house. It's a big lie and he is doing all this for show” she said.

She further added, "It is very easy to fool people. You just have to wear a white Gandhi topi and white kurta. Asaram Bapu also wore white kurta. He used to fold his hands in front of a temple and then he became a saint. Who is checking whether he (Nana Patekar) is actually giving that money to farmers?"

Tanushree had registered an FIR against Nana Patekar in October 2018, accusing him of sexually harassing her on the sets of the movie "Horn Ok Pleassss". The complaint also named director Rakesh Sarang, producer Samee Siddiqui and choreographer Ganesh Acharya of the film, as co-accused in the case.

She continued to attack Nana and stated, "A few months ago, I heard that he is building 500 homes for flood victims. Who is checking? Tomorrow, I will say I am the queen of Timbuktu, I have made a big house on the moon and I have built 500 homes for aliens, would you believe me? He has collected funds to build 500 homes for sure, but we don't inspect people who are running NGOs."

Meanwhile, Tanushree and her lawyers have filed a protest petition with the Metropolitan Magistrate's Court in Andheri, and the first hearing was scheduled for January 17.

The actress’s lawyer Nitin Satpute has demanded a lie detector test, and a narco-analysis test of those named in the FIR, and has also asked for the case to be transferred to the Mumbai Police Crime Branch, and financial compensation for Tanushree.
