The actress has raised 10 questions in her application, which — according to her — need to be answered. She has also requested the court to transfer the probe to the crime branch if the local police is not interested in conducting the investigation into her case.

The petition has also demanded the initiation of contempt proceeding against the investigating officer for filing a ‘false’ report, and registration of a criminal case against him by the Anti-Corruption Bureau. It also demanded narco-analysis of all the accused and the investigating officer.

The police informed the court in July that they found no evidence to prosecute Mr Patekar. Ms Dutta filed a complaint against the veteran actor in October 2018, accusing him of harassing her and misbehaving with her while shooting a song on the sets of the film Horn Ok Pleasss in 2008. Based on her complaint, a case was registered against Mr Patekar, choreographer Ganesh Acharya, the film’s producer Samee Siddiqui and director Rakesh Sarang. However, the police claimed it could not find evidence against them to put them to trial.
