Last year Tanushree Dutta had accused Nana Patekar of sexual harassment. The actress had narrated the horrifying incident which happened with her on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss. She sparked the #MeToo movement in India which encouraged women to open up about their ordeals. Months after the sexual allegations levelled against Nana, the police has now given a clean chit to the veteran actor as no eye-witness has confirmed the incident. It is being reported that police have statements of 15 people till date but none of them has confirmed that such an incident happened a decade ago. Daisy Shah was one of the 15 witnesses but even her statement didn't match to Tanushree's side of the story.
Reacting to the clean chit given to Nana Patekar, Tanushree told, "Who are these 15 witnesses? Are they from my side or Nana's side? They are Nana's friends, then why will they corroborate my story. I don't need witnesses to prove that I was harassed. The truth is sometimes difficult to prove in a court of law when it comes to harassment. The cops have been so slow with the probe. Most of the people from whom they are taking statements are the ones who watched me getting harassed and did nothing to support me. So why will they now speak in my support? The mentality of people is such that they will lie to protect such criminals and prove the woman wrong."
