In a recent development in the sexual harassment case filed against veteran Bollywood actor Nana Patekar, Mumbai Police told the court that there was lack of evidence to prosecute Patekar for the charges of sexually harassing his co-star Tanushree Dutta.
The Aashiq Banaya Aapne actress had accused Patekar of misbehaving with her on the sets of their movie "Horn 'OK Pleassss" 10 years ago.
Meanwhile, the police in their report said that they could not find evidence to support the complaint and were "unable to continue the investigation."

Indian women took to Twitter to share their side of the story where they were harassed.
The actress had filed a written complaint about the harassment at the Oshiwara police station in Mumbai. After which, Patekar sent a legal notice and demanded a written apology from the actress.
