Nana Patekar Gets Clean Chit In #MeToo Case, Tanushree Dutta Blames 'Corrupt Legal System'
Mumbai police have filed a B Summary report giving a clean chit to Nana Patekar in connection with actor Tanushree Dutta sexual harassment case according to PTI. A B report is filed when the police are unable to find evidence in support of the complaint filed and hence decides to discontinue the investigation. The woman who kickstarted the #MeToo movement in India is not only upset but is angry currently.
It all started with Tanushree Dutta and her one explosive interview. The woman who kickstarted the #MeToo movement in India is not only upset but is angry currently because the police closed the sexual harassment case against Nana Patekar giving him a clean chit because of lack of evidence.
Mumbai police have filed a B Summary report, giving a clean chit to Nana Patekar, in connection with actor Tanushree Dutta sexual harassment case, according to PTI.
A 'B Summary' report is filed when the police are unable to find evidence in support of the complaint filed and hence decides to discontinue the investigation.
Reacting to this, Tanushree Dutta said, ¡°A corrupt police force and legal system giving a clean chit to an even more corrupt person Nana who has been accused even in the past of bullying, intimidation and harassment by several women in the film Industry.¡±

Tanushree Dutta¡¯s lawyer Nitin Satpute said that they are going to file a writ petition before Bombay High Court opposing the same.
¡°I have not received any official information from Oshiwara police station about classification of offense (Summary Report) from police on behalf of Tanushree Dutta, if police files any B or C classification of summery Report, that cannot be final, we can oppose before court and after hearing if court satisfies then again it can be directed police to reinvestigation or Further investigations. Police acted negligently to protect Nana Patekar, many witnesses statement not yet recorded, one Shyni Shetty statement recorded partly, police have not investigated properly so we are opposing summary reports and also going to file a writ petition before Bombay High Court,¡± he said in a statement.
Here's how people reacted to this.

All know how Shiv Sena came openly in support of #NanaPatekar, in name of false Marathi pride, now Shiv Sena in all power after Lok Sabha elections, Mumbai Police to file only "B" report? Very Sad! Tanushree Dutta

"Tanushree Dutta" one doesn't wake up 10 years later & suddenly decide to accuse another with false case. You made a joke out of police because how can they track fingerprints, eyewitnesses for something that happened a decade ago! #NanaPatekar Please file defamation case #MenToo

Police don't have any proofs against Nana.

If no witnesses came forward in support of #TanushreeDutta , logically the benefit of the doubt must go to #NanaPatekar
For me, under these circumstances, this is a case for #MenToo
Easy to say that #Nanapatekar got clean chit in Tanushree Dutta case but can he(Nana) forget all humiliation that he faced in this forge case. We all knew future of this case still a man faced humiliation only because a woman used her feminism...... really shameful. pic.twitter.com/0J4caxFtvW
