Maharashtra minister Deepak Kesarkar said Thursday there will be a fair probe if actor Tanushree Dutta files a police complaint against Nana Patekar, following up on her allegations that he misbehaved with her during the shooting of a film in 2008.
Kesarkar, the minister of state for home (rural), also asserted that the government was not biased towards Patekar.
The Shiv Sena minister had said Wednesday that Patekar is an "illustrious personality" who had done a lot for the state, and asked why Dutta did not file a police complaint in the past 10 years.
Speaking to reporters Thursday, Kesarkar said, "When an official complaint is lodged, police will be able to probe the case transparently so that justice is done to both the sides."
