The National Commission for Women (NCW) is in the process of reaching out to the survivors of sexual harassment as the #MeToo storm intensified in the country, with more women recounting their ordeal.
Patekar has rejected Dutta's allegations. The movement has gained momentum as more women came forward on social media to share their experiences of sexual harassment in the entertainment and media industry.
An official of the NCW said the women’s rights body is in the progress of gathering detailed information of the various sexual harassment allegations.
Journalist Sandhya Menon, one of the women who have been leading the charge on social media, took to Twitter to confirm that the NCW was reaching out to the survivours.
Weeks after Tanusharee levelled allegations against Patekar, Maharashtra State Commission for Women on Tuesday, 9 October, took cognisance of the complaint filed by her.
The Commission issued notices to Patekar, choreographer Ganesh Acharya, producer Sameer Siddiqui and director Rakesh Sarang, and asked them to submit their response within 10 days.
