Kate Sharma withdraws #MeToo complaint against Subhash Ghai, says she is 'fed up'

In a shocking turn of events, model-actress Kate Sharma, who had accused filmmaker Subhash Ghai of sexual misconduct and harassment, withdrew her complaint against the director from the police.

According to a report in Mid Day, the actress told the cops in a written note that she was "fed up" with the way her case was being handled. She said that she wants to take care of her ailing mother and that her family has been quite disturbed after she levelled sexual harassment case against the filmmaker.

Elaborating further on her reason to step back, she reportedly added that people are really making fun of the entire #MeToo campaign. Nothing has happened, nobody has been arrested. If cops are only busy registering FIRs, then what is the use of this entire campaign? She also stated that the cops asked her if she wanted to register an FIR, but she said that she doesn't see any reason for moving ahead to get justice as whatever she had to say is in the public domain. The actress added that Ghai and her were very good friends, but he destroyed everything.



Confirming the development in the case, a senior Mumbai Police officer told Mid Day that their officers had approached the actress again to record a detailed statement for starting up with their investigations. However, she reportedly informed them in written note that she wants to withdraw her case as her mother is unwell and she wants to take care of her family.

Sharma had reportedly alleged that Subhash Ghai asked her to massage him in front of a roomful of people on August 6, after which he groped her and tried to kiss her. She had filed a written complaint about the alleged incident on October 12. Police had approached her on October 25 to record her statement, but she sought more time.
Ghai, on the other hand, had completely rubbished all the allegations levelled against him. Reacting to all the accusations, he had taken to social media to share his thoughts.
