#MeToo:Vivek Agnihotri confessed, so we’ll file FIR against him, says Tanushree Dutta’s lawyer

After Tanushree Dutta sparked the #MeToo movement in India once again, she is now all set to lodge an FIR against director Vivek Agnihotri. A fortnight earlier, Vivek has sent a notice to Tanushree for making a veiled reference to him and accusing him of sexual harassment while shooting the film Chocolate: Deep Dark Secrets, in 2005.

Tanushree Dutta’s lawyer, Nitin Satpute told mid-day, “My client had not named Agnihotri during a press interview. But, Agnihotri has sent her a 10-page notice confessing that ‘the director was none other than me’. He has confessed to his own crime. So, this week, we will submit a complaint against him at the Oshiwara police station and will request cops to register a molestation case against him.”

Actress Rakhi Sawant also abused Dutta and threatened her to thrash her at her house. In a press conference, Rakhi had said, “Tu ne Bollywood ka naam ganda kiya hain… Tujhe Nana Patekar aur Ganesh Acharya reply nahi karenge kyunki woh shareef hain…. main ek chamaat marungi, tab pata chalega Rakhi kaun hain… Tujhse main niptungi… Ghar me ghus kar marungi.”

Satpute was quoted in a report by the tabloid saying, “Taking the side of Patekar and other three accused, Sawant has abused and threatened my client. The Bhim Army has already submitted a two-page complaint letter at the Oshiwara police station, requesting the cops to register a case under the SC/ST Atrocity Act. Now we [Bhim Army] will file an FIR against Rakhi Sawant.”

Dutta has filed a Rs 10 crore defamation suit against Sawant. Reacting to which, Sawant posted some short clips on her social media account saying, “Law is the same for everyone. She has stoked controversy, Pehle wo media-media kheli, ab hum court-court khelenge. She has filed a Rs 10 crore defamation suit, but I will file a Rs 50 crore defamation case against her.”
