History

Historical Context

The Indian #MeToo surge began in October 2018 when actress Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar, prompting nationwide complaints and police FIRs. Activist Jasmeen Patheja noted the movement’s power to expose harassment, while lists of alleged perpetrators grew to about 70 names. This legacy of heightened reporting underpins today’s FIRs against comedian More, Himanshu Jangra and Starvik Design.
