MUMBAI :
 
THE Maharashtra State Commission for Women (MSCW) directed Mumbai Police on Monday to take immediate action and submit a factual report on actor Prajakta Mali’s complaint that MLA Suresh Dhas had made inappropriate remarks about her. Mali lodged a complaint with the commission alleging that Dhas’ inappropriate and defamatory remarks impacted her personal and social life. She also alleged that defamatory content was circulated on social media following these remarks.
 
The Maharashtra State Commission for Women informed through its X handle that it had received Mali’s complaint and initiated action. The commission stated that the issue was serious and directed the Mumbai Police Commissioner to act immediately and submit a factual report. When asked about a complaint lodged by Mali with the women’s panel, Dhas said this issue was over for him and he was ready to face consequences. He also said the focus on the Santosh Deshmukh murder case and crime in Beed should not be shifted. The MSCW tweet comes a day after Mali met Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at his residence in Mumbai.
