Already caught in controversies with Nana Patekar, Tanushree Dutta is stuck in yet another controversy. Mumbai Police on Thursday filed a defamation case against Tanushree for her remarks against Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray.
The case was filed by the Kaij police in Maharashtra’s Beed district on Wednesday evening after MNS district unit president Sumant Dhas lodged a complaint, alleging that Dutta had defamed his party chief.
“We have registered a non-cognisable offence against Dutta under Section 500 (defamation) of the Indian Penal Code and are investigating the complaint. We have also asked the complainant to approach court”, said a police officer.
Recently, Tunshree had accused Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her on the sets of Horn Ok Please movie in the year 2008. She also claimed that the MNS was involved in vandalising her vehicle when she opted out of the film.
Tanushree further alleged that Raj Thackeray wanted to succeed late Bal Thackeray as the Shiv Sena chief, but could not do so. Dutta also alleged that she had been getting threats from the MNS, adding that two persons recently tried to barge into her home.
