Tanushree Dutta has refuted recent reports suggesting that a Mumbai court dismissed her #MeToo complaint against Nana Patekar. She claims these reports are “fake news” propagated by Patekar’s public relations team. Dutta asserts that, contrary to these reports, the court actually rejected the B-summary report filed by the Mumbai Police in 2019, which had sought to close the case due to lack of evidence.
In her social media statements, Dutta expressed optimism, stating that the court’s decision to dismiss the B-summary report means the case remains open, and the police are now obligated to file a chargesheet against Patekar. She emphasized that any media outlets reporting otherwise are disseminating false information and could face legal consequences.
However, other sources indicate that a Mumbai court dismissed Dutta’s plea challenging the relief granted to Patekar, citing the complaint was filed beyond the period of limitation, as the FIR was lodged in 2018 for an incident that allegedly took place in 2008.
The conflicting reports highlight a complex legal situation. While Dutta maintains that the case is progressing in her favor, official court records and statements from involved parties would provide the most accurate information regarding the current status of the case.
