Tanushree Dutta - Nana Patekar Row: Police Officials Find No Witnesses to Support the Actress' Claims
The investigation against Nana Patekar reaches a dead end after police officials find no witnesses to support Tanushree Dutta's claims?
Seems like Tanushree Dutta's fight against Nana Patekar is not over yet. Especially after police officials were unable to find any witnesses who would support her story. After an FIR was filed against the actor, cops tried to record 15 different statements that would support Tanushree's claim. She had alleged that Nana Patekar had sexually harassed her on the sets of Horn Ok Please. Seven months after she voiced her concern and made us aware of Bollywood's unpleasant scenario, officials have reached a dead end. Tanushree Dutta Lashes out at Ajay Devgn for Retaining Alok Nath in De De Pyaar De, Calls Him 'Spineless Hypocrite' and 'Morally Bankrupt'.
According to a report in Mid-Day, the Oshiwara police is not able to find a single witness to support Dutta's story. Police sources said that none of the 15 witnesses could confirm Tanushree's version of events. Even Daisy Shah, who was then assisting choreographer Ganesh Acharya was unable to recall the correct events. She said she was unable to remember the details as the incident happened decades ago.
Tanushree is clearly upset with the progress in her case and feels cops are not treating it the right way. In her recent interaction with the same tabloid, Tanushree reacted to the progress saying, "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." She further added, "We have faced a lot of difficulty in convincing witnesses to give their statements, as they are scared. So the people who know the truth are being hounded and replaced by fake witnesses who are speaking lies." All Allegations by Tanushree Dutta Are 'Far From The Truth' Says Nana Patekar's Lawyer.
The case is not going to end anytime soon and we hope it finds the desired result. Meanwhile, Tanushree is gearing up for her Netflix show, the one that revolves around this similar controversy.
