A defamation case has been filed against Bollywood actor Tanushree Dutta for her comments about Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray, police said on Thursday.
The complaint has been filed by a man named Sumant Dhas at Kaij police station in Beed district of Maharashtra.
“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,” the officer said.
Tanushree Dutta, who recently accused actor Nana Patekar of harassing her on the sets of a film in 2008, recently said Raj Thackeray wanted to succeed late Bal Thackeray as the Shiv Sena chief, but could not do so.

Not only this, she also alleged that MNS party workers were involved in the attack on her car after she opted out of the 2008 film ‘Horn OK Pleassss’ after alleged harassment by co-actor Patekar.
She also alleged that she had been getting threats from the MNS, adding that two persons recently tried to barge into her home.
The MNS youth wing, meanwhile, handed over a letter to the makers of the Bigg Boss on Wednesday, following reports of Dutta participating in the ongoing season of the TV reality show, a party functionary told PTI.
The party workers threatened violence on the set in Lonavla if she was let in.
