Ex-Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta has told the BBC of the fallout from being "harassed on a movie set".
Ms Dutta, whose allegations helped launch the #MeToo movement in India, says she chose to stay away from movies after the incident a decade ago.
Tanushree Dutta sexual harassment case: Nana Patekar may escape stricter provisions of amended law
A senior police officer said that since the FIR is recorded based on the law in place at the time of the alleged incident in 2008, the sections invoked in the FIR are 354 and 509, which are bailable.
Actor Nana Patekar, against whom an FIR has been filed based on a complaint by actress Tanushree Dutta, may not have to face the stricter provisions of the amended laws against sexual harassment as the alleged incident took place in 2008, when the offences he is booked for were bailable.
