#MeToo: Sona Mohapatra Hits Back At NCW For Closing Case Against Anu Malik, Says It's Not Over!

Anu Malik has been in headlines for all the wrong reasons. He courted a major controversy after the movement exploded in India.

Recently, several reports confirmed that the National Commission of Women closed the case due to a lack of communication/substantial evidence sought from the complainant.

Reacting to the news reports, Sona Mohapatra took to Twitter to rubbish all claims of not having any substantial evidence.

'I have followed due process. Collated testimonies & sent to the NCW dear Deepika & have been writing in to them endlessly to talk to @sharmarekha . She has been too busy & her office ominous in their one line replies.They are busy,not me. You don¡¯t have to like me. Believe me'.

Dear India,
This. ?? pic.twitter.com/bTRDD038uv

According to a Mumbai Mirror report, NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma said,

¡°Responding to a complaint, we wrote to the complainant. She said she was travelling and whenever she returns, she will visit us. We waited for around 45 days. We had also asked for some documents, but after that, she never responded. The complainant had informed us that there are more women who have complaints against Anu Malik and we told her that they can also file a complaint with us but none of them have responded yet. This is not a permanent closure of the case. If the complainant comes forward or brings more evidence or submits any kind of document, we can reopen it.¡±

It all began in 2018, Mohapatra had for the first time called out Malik's name, alleging sexual misconduct, which forced the composer to step down from season 10 of the show last year. Singers such as Neha Bhasin and Shweta Pandit had also joined Mohapatra in alleging sexual harassment against Malik.
