Ten months after screenwriter Vinta Nanda filed a rape case against actor Alok Nath, the Oshiwara police are likely to file a closure report for 'lack of evidence'. Nanda had, on October 8 last year, posted her ordeal on social media.

She later filed a complaint with the Oshiwara police and Nath was booked for rape in November last year. The Oshiwara police, however, seem to be lacking sufficient evidence against the accused to file a charge sheet in the matter. "We have recorded a detailed statement of the victim. Two witnesses were called to the police station a number of times but they haven't yet recorded their statements," said an officer at the Oshiwara police station. The witnesses details were revealed to the police by Nanda while she narrated the 20-year-old incident to them. The writer-producer accused Alok Nath of raping her during the shoot of TV serial Tara in the 1990s, in which Nath played the lead role.
