Tanushree Dutta Lashes Out At NCW For Exonerating Anu Malik

Actress-activist Tanushree Dutta who spearheded  the MeToo movement  in Bollywood is  extremely upset at the National Commission For Women(NCW)  for exonerating musician Anu Malik  from charges  of sexual misconduct.

  Says Tanushree, “The National Commission for women  like many other organizations is susceptible to heavy corruption, biased influence and outright stupidity of ideology.Furthermore Womens commission is not a legal entity so they don’t have the authority to clear anyone of criminal charges.Their closing the case is just another example of their inefficiency and redundancy.”

  Tanushree  further  raises  the issue of the  NCW’s   conduct regarding her own allegations against Nana Patekar. “They have not even opened an investigation in my harassment case against  Nana Patekar,Ganesh Acharya and others.They keep making random excuses and accusing me only of something or the other despite sending my complaint to them officially and following all procedures.”

 In fact Tanushee feels she  is being harassed  by the  NCW. “ They never even summoned the accused in my case but are quick to keep summoning me unnecessarily even after giving written detailed complaint, all documents and records and representing my case through my advocates.They were hoping to trouble me into silence but I didnt budge.”

  Tanushree stands by  singer Sona Mahapatra who has been campaigning against Anu Malik. “Now the  NCW  are doing  to Sona what they did to me.I’m not surprised,this is their trick.First pretend to support victims then backtrack.Neither their investigation nor their verdict has any value.Besides in Anu Malik’s case most of the instances of harassment were of a  private nature and behind closed doors so what kind of evidence was the Women’s commission expecting?? A Bollywood style video recording?? Or a high resolution photograph?? Or 4 male witnesses to validate  a woman’s word?? Are we in the stone ages??”

 Tanshree feels the  NCW is  a redundant organization.  “I dont understand why tax payers’ money is being used to fund such ineffective organizations when millions of rape,abuse and harassment cases are still pending in courts with no relief to victims.I understood this double game and chose not to  waste my time with the National Women’s Commission.These are all tricks that the #metoo accused are employing to clear their name and get back to work!! Please spare us all the piety..nobody is stupid and we all know what’s going on.”
