Allegations against Nana were false: Patekar's lawyer

June 13, 2019 17:18

Nana Patekar's lawyer's statement on the harassment case filed by Tanushree Dutta: Advocate Aniket Nikam says, "The entire allegations against my client were false from the inception. My client is innocent and justice will be served."

In a relief to veteran actor Nana Patekar, the Mumbai police informed a local court that it has no evidence to prosecute him in a molestation case lodged against him by actor Tanushree Dutta. Dutta's complaint against Patekar last year sparked a nationwide '#MeToo' movement on social media.

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. While Patekar's advocate Aniket Nikam welcomed the move, Dutta's lawyer Nitin Satpute claimed that the police acted in a negligent manner.
