Fighting no more

Last month model Kate Sharma had joined India's #MeToo movement and had accused filmmaker Subhash Ghai of sexual harassment.

She had then filed a police complained against the filmmaker for molestation, blackmailing and mental torture. She had said that Ghai had asked her to give him a massage in front of people, which she did. Later, he had groped her and tried to kiss her. However, a month- and-a-half later, she has taken her complaint back and has withdrawn the case.

Kate has sent a note to Mumbai’s DN Nagar Police Station asking them to withdraw the case as she wants to take care of her ill mother and family. She also mentioned that her family members have been disturbed and anxious since she had filed a complaint against Ghai. A police officer confirms, "Our officers approached Sharma again to record a detailed statement so we can begin our inquiry into the matter since she had sought some time earlier to give the statement owing to her mother's ill health. However, she then informed us in a written note that she wants to withdraw her case as her mother is unwell and she wants take care of her family."
