Tanushree Dutta who kicked up the Me Too storm in the Hindi film industry last year and filed a case against Nana Patekar for sexual harassment witnessed a setback today. According to news agency ANI, the Mumbai Police have filed a 'B Summary' report in the case. A 'B summary' report is filed when police cannot find evidence in support of the complaint and are unable to continue the investigation. This means that no evidence could be furnished against Nana Patekar and the case fought by Tanushree has come to an end.

However, the actress can still file a protest report if she is unhappy with the proceedings. Speaking about the case, lawyer Sujay Kantawala told Times Now that there has been no evidence to corroborate the charges made by Tanushree. “Under the criminal jurisdiction, the investigating agency is the police. Now we have a closure report, the complainant can file a protest report to challenge the closure report."

Tanushree had accused Nana Patekar of sexual misconduct on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss which was filmed in 2009. The actress, who currently lives in the US, is yet to make an official statement.

Tanushree's revelations inspired many other women in the Hindi film industry to speak out against the harassment meted out to them by producers, directors and actors. Another significant case is that of Vinta Nanda who had accused actor Alok Nath of rape and harassment.

Chalo, at least this one had a legal procedure. Hopefully people will think before accusing Nana again.

Nana Patekar shud not let it go and shud sue her and Janice for Defamation after all she made lot of personal attacks including cursing his son. There is video evidence n FIR that Media attacked her car due to tiff with her father for breaking a camera but both tried to frame Nana by saying it was his goons.

Nana has always more power that's why tanushre always lost to him but I still admire her for her guts that she inspired so many women to open their mouth against injustice.

More than guts, it was her racism towards Nana and ego towards getting replaced by Rakhi Sawant. That is why she completely lied about her media attack and her father tiff.

Wasn't this expected. Nana patekar a powerful guy, a case re-ignited after 10 years , obviously the case would have been closed even otherwise.

Admire her guts to fight this for over 10 years. Starting a #metoo movement in India where several other women came forward to tell their story.

As always labelling someone as "attention seeker", "b grade" " flop actress" as reasons when she spoke out.

Who.is left now....Sajid Khan will be next to get. Clean chit

Its okay. Atleast the men leave their victims alone. Unlike female sexual offenders who continue to harass their victims. Which is exactly why #MenToo has kicked off now.

Women really can't win sexual harassment cases. That's the sad reality of things. I just watched this documentary the other day where this woman states how easy it is to grope a woman a public but its done in such a tiny moment of time that there's no way to prove it. Even if someone saw it there is this camaraderie between men to protect their kind. Hence everyday harassment is a thing women just have to live with. Look at what's happening in Japan. They had to make separate women only trains because men couldn't stop groping them and now the same men are protesting calling it giving extra benefits to women. All this in 2019. Seriously though, women can't win this fight until we have GoPros stuck on our forehead and the men know they are being filmed all the damn time.

Her case has more to do with dance steps of a Item song in presence of 200 crew members than anything else. And many of her statements hv been contradictory. First blaming Choreographer, then Producer, then Nana. Then, saying he was not required when there was a male voice n the song was about his truck anniversary. Her ego hurt bcoz she is Miss India and producer replaced her with Rakhi Sawant and she got fined for causing 1 day loss to Producer.

The other theory is she n Janice plotted to divert attention from Bishop rape case due to Christian lobbies. Bcoz i dont buy how Janice conveniently missed out how people from her fraternity broke the car when it was all captured by various channels.
