The police on Thursday filed a B-summary report before the metropolitan magistrate court at Andheri, seeking to close the case.

B-summary implies the complaint is “maliciously false.” The case will be closed, if the magistrate accepts the report. Otherwise, the police will have to undertake further investigation and file a fresh report.

In a statement, the actor questioned the police’s rush to file a ‘B Summary’ report.

“Our witnesses have been silenced by intimidation and fake witnesses have been put forth to weaken the case. What was the rush to file a B summary report when all of my witnesses have not even recorded their statements yet? I’m neither shocked nor surprised, being a woman in India this is something we all have got used to,” Dutta said.
