Actor
Tanushree
Dutta
on
Thursday
lashed
out
on
the
'corrupt' system
after
Mumbai
Police
informed
a
local
court
that
it
has
no
evidence
to
prosecute
Nana
Patekar
in
a
molestation
case
lodged
against
him
by
her.
The
suburban
Oshiwara
police
on
Wednesday
filed
a
'B
Summary'
report
before
a
metropolitan
magistrate
in
Andheri,
Deputy
Commissioner
of
Police
Paramjit
Singh
Dahiya
told
PTI.
A
'B
Summary'
report
is
filed
when
police
do
not
find
any
evidence
against
the
accused
person
to
file
a
charge
sheet
and
seek
trial.
Dutta's
complaint
against
Patekar
last
year
sparked
a
nationwide
'#MeToo'
movement
on
social
media.
In
a
statement,
the
actor
questioned
the
police's
rush
to
file
a
'B
Summary'
report
but
said
she
is
'neither
shocked
nor
surprised'
by
it.
"Our
witnesses
have
been
silenced
by
intimidation
and
fake
witnesses
have
been
put
forth
to
weaken
the
case.
What
was
the
rush
to
file
a
B
summary
report
when
all
of
my
witnesses
have
not
even
recorded
their
statements
yet??
I'm
neither
shocked
nor
surprised,
being
a
woman
in
India
this
is
something
we
all
have
got
used
to,"
Dutta
said.
She
claimed
it
must
not
have
been
difficult
for
Patekar
to
"buy
himself"
a
clean
chit
when
Alok
Nath,
who
has
been
accused
of
rape
by
writer
Vinta
Nanda,
is
still
acting
in
films.
"But
the
proof
is
often
in
the
pudding
and
a
gentle
reminder
to
the
Indian
public
to
watch
the
video
of
my
car
being
mercilessly
attacked
and
broken
while
me
and
my
family
tried
to
escape
from
these
monsters
on
'Horn
ok
Pleasse' set
10
years
ago.
After
this
if
you
still
decide
to
watch
their
movies
and
support
then
it's
your
bad
karma,"
she
added.
Dutta
said
she
hopes
that
she
never
has
to
face
such
'toxicity'
again
in
life.
"I'm
tired
of
fighting
alone
against
oppressors,
bullies
and
a
corrupt
system.
I
have
better
things
to
do
in
life
with
my
talent
and
skill
set
and
I
need
to
focus
on
those
but
please
don't
take
this
example
to
mean
that
you
will
not
be
heard
when
you
speak
up!
"Continue
to
expose
these
creeps
through
social
media
and
other
platforms
so
that
in
future
people
would
think
twice
before
troubling
an
innocent
young
girl.
I
still
believe
by
the
way
that
I
will
get
justice
and
victory
will
be
mine!!
How..only
time
will
tell," she
concluded.
Dutta
filed
the
complaint
against
Patekar
in
October
2018
in
which
she
accused
him
of
harassing
and
misbehaving
with
her
while
shooting
a
song
on
the
sets
of
the
film
"Horn
Ok
Pleasss"
in
2008.
She
also
alleged
that
during
the
shooting
of
the
song
sequence,
Patekar
inappropriately
touched
her
even
after
she
clearly
mentioned
that
she
would
not
perform
lewd,
vulgar
or
uncomfortable
steps.
Patekar
has
denied
all
the
allegations.
Based
on
Dutta's
complaint,
a
case
was
registered
against
Patekar
and
three
others
-
choreographer
Ganesh
Acharya,
the
film's
producer
Samee
Siddiqui
and
director
Rakesh
Sarang
-
for
allegedly
molesting
Dutta
on
the
sets
of
the
movie.
The
'B
Summary'
report
will
absolve
Acharya,
Siddiqui
and
Sarang
too
of
the
charges.
The
accused
were
booked
under
IPC
Sections
354
(assault
or
criminal
force
to
woman
with
intent
to
outrage
her
modesty)
and
509
(word,
gesture
or
act
intended
to
insult
the
modesty
of
a
woman),
but
no
arrest
was
made
so
far.
