Actor Nana Patekar passed away on October 8 in Goa at age 75 from a cardiac arrest, prompting actor Tanushree Dutta to make an 'evil dead' remark regarding past sexual harassment allegations.
Actor Sandhya Mridul reacted indirectly on social media, questioning whether a person stops being an abuser after death and stating she always stands with survivors.
Tanushree previously accused Patekar of sexual harassment during a 2009 film shoot, with criminal proceedings officially dismissed by a Mumbai court in 2025 due to filing time limits.
