Actor Salman Khan did not appear before the Maharashtra State Women's Commission despite being issued a summons for a second time for his insensitive remark on rape, the panel chairperson said on Thursday.
"Nobody came from Salman’s side. A letter has come from his side though. We have summoned Salman for the third time to appear before the Commission on July 14," chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar said at a news conference.
The chairperson rejected Khan's letter saying, “We will not accept anything till Salman appears in person."
The chairperson also made it clear that the third summons was the last. A few days ago, the panel had turned down the actor's reply and sent him another summons for July 7, which happened to be a holiday for ‘Eid-ul-Fitr’.
Khan's lawyer has urged the MSWC not to pursue the matter since it is already being with by the National Commission For Women.
Salman Khan, 50, was sent the notice for the remark that he "felt like a raped woman" after shooting an exhausting wrestling sequence for his new film'Sultan'.
"It is like the most difficult thing... when I used to walk out of that ring, it used to be actually like a raped woman," he was reported as saying during a media event.
