June 26 (AZINS) The Tanushree Dutta-Nana Patekar #MeToo case was taken forward by the Maharashtra Women's Commission. Tanushree had alleged them of not helping her in the case, and being involved with Nana Patekar in giving him a 'bogus' clean-chit.

The Maharashtra State Women's Commission has turned down the allegations made by actress Tanushree Dutta. In the case over sexual harassment filed by her under #MeToo, Tanushree did not appear before the Commission despite summons.

Moreover, she sent her complaints through a third person. Chairperson of the Women's Commission Vijaya Rahatkar was the one to inform us about the same. She mentioned, "After the complaint made by Tanushree, the Commission sent a notice to the people related to the case. The victim was also required to come directly and give information about her complaint, which did not take place. The process for actor Nana Patekar's clean chit has begun, after the report was submitted by the police in the court. The court received the B summary report (no evidence in support of the claim) and began the process accordingly. After the report was released, Tanushree has been given a notice period."

Tanushree had also accused the woman commission of not helping her in times of need. The commission denied all allegations on Wednesday when they held a press conference over the matter. The Women's Commission mentioned that all legal action has been taken on Tanushree's complaint, which is the procedure followed in such cases.

Tanushree Dutta's case of #MeToo was filed against Nana Patekar after she accused the actor of harassing her on the sets of Horn Ok Pleasss. Tanushree, who was supposed to be part of the item song, walked out of the song claiming that Nana Patekar changed shots at end moments to get closer to her and harass her while shooting for the song, touching her inappropriately. In an interview with SpotBoye, Tanushree mentioned how doing the movie was a wrong decision. She said, "Wrong place was Horn 'OK' Pleassss. Wrong people were Nana Patekar, Ganesh Acharya and the gang. I should not have taken up that film. It all began when I saw Nana Patekar on the set  around 6-7 am when he was not required. And mind you, he was staring at me like a freak. I had been told that it was my solo song. I checked with the director (Rakesh Sarang), who then told me that he is required for just one line. He shot for that one line of his, but continued to be on the set. When I told him 'Hello', he didn't even reciprocate. Slowly he started coming closer. Next day, he was even more closer. And then, he started behaving bizarre. He asked Ganesh Acharya (choreographer, whom I had recommended for that song) to move out, grabbed me by my arm, and started telling me: Idhar khadi ho ja, Udhar khadi ho jaa. He wanted to teach me how I should dance."
