Mumbai: Weeks after sharing her sexual harassment story on the sets of Horn Ok Please in 2008, actor Tanushree Dutta has finally filed a complaint against actor Nana Patekar, choreographer Ganesh Acharya, producer Sameer Siddiqui and director Rakesh Sarang.

Her advocate Nitin Satpute said that the actor will be giving a statement to the police on Sunday. "We have filed a police complaint, they are investigating the matter and tomorrow (Sunday) they have called her (Dutta) for recording her statement," he said. 

In a letter, Dutta confirmed filing the complaint about registration of FIR under Sections 354, 354 (A), Section 34 and Section 509 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).  

However, her advocate also said that Dutta had filed a similar complaint in 2008 with the police and CINTAA too. 

Meanwhile, Patekar said of the incident, "I said this ten years ago... a lie is a lie (Dus saal pehle bol chuka hoon, ab jo jhoot hai woh jhoot hai)."
