'They Can't Be Trusted With Fair Investigation', Tanushree Dutta Slams Mumbai Cops & Bollywood

Citing her own example and commenting on Sushant Singh Rajput case, Tanushree Dutta said that Mumbai Police cannot be trusted with fair investigation. She said that they pretend to care but have hand in glove with culprits and politicians from the start. She alleged that calling people to record their statement is just a show to appease public sentiment.

In an Instagram Live session, Dutta said, "Mumbai Police cannot be trusted with doing a fair and impartial investigation. They are usually too quick to dismiss such cases and close matters and are usually hand in glove with culprits themselves and politicians from the start. All this show about calling people to record their statement is just a show to appease public sentiment because the matter is hot right now."

Furthermore, she said that CBI should step in for the probe.

"CBI needs to step in and maybe Interpol if there is underworld involvement. Usually such cases involve a nexus behind the crime and not just one individual or party. They play on that human sentiment and wait it out till they declare the matter closed."

Recounting her own experience, when she filed an FIR against Nana Patekar during the Me Too allegations, she said that the city cops only pretended to care.

"In my case too, they pretended to care and investigate for months. I wasted so much time and energy doing an FIR, submitting a wealth of evidence and witness testimonies, video footage, circumstantial evidence, secondary evidence etc and follow up regularly. Yet in their final report they refused to even take into account all that evidence, didn¡¯t follow up with key witnesses who were threatened into silence by Nana¡¯s lawyers, supporters and withdrew from coming forward".

Speaking about nepotism and groupism in Bollywood, she said, "I got saved because I went away. If I had stuck around then I know that there is only so much your mind can take at some point. I don¡¯t know what would have happened. If you continue to stick around in a toxic environment , it gets to you. Sad that Sushant could not walk away".

Mumbai Police had given Nana Patekar a clean chit in the molestation case filed by Tanushree Dutta, who was the first person to kickstart #MeToo movement in Bollywood.
