Mumbai police summons Daisy Shah to record statement in Tanushree Dutta-Nana Patekar case

Actress Tanushree Dutta, a few months back accused veteran actor Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her.

In the wake of the same, the Mumbai Police has summoned Race 3 actress Daisy Shah to record her statement in connection with Tanushree's harassment allegations against the actor.

Tanushree has alleged that Nana Patekar misbehaved with her on the sets of the film Horn Ok Pleasss in 2008 while shooting for a special dance number, and filed a complaint against the Welcome star.

The notice, which was sent by the Oshiwira police station, mentioned that while a song from the film Horn Ok Pleassss was being shot, Daisy Shah happened to be there. 

She was working as assistant choreographer under Ganesh Acharya.

Nana Patekar, on the other hand, has refused the allegations against him. 

Patekar's lawyer Aniket Nikam, told ANI, "All allegations against him (Nana Patekar) are false and far from the truth."

After Tanushree Dutta opened up about what she went through and shared her ordeal in the public, several other women from the entertainment and media industry have come out and spoken about the sexual harassment they have faced at their workplace. 

This in turn has started the #MeToo campaign in India. 

Several biggies, including Sajid Khan, Alok Nath, Vikas Bahl among others have been named as alleged perpetrators.
