Suchitra Krishnamoorthi has been cleared of any wrongdoing by police over a child labour charge.
Maharashtra police blamed an NGO for mistakenly accusing the Bollywood actress of employing a teenage maid after the two parties met to discuss the issue.
Kavita Gupta, secretary of Maharashtra government, said: "One of them complained about Suchitra Krishnamoorthi. Later, it was learned that in 2007, there was a case against her mother once the child was rescued and sent to her village.
"It was a faux pas on the NGO's part to name Suchitra Krishnamoorthi."
Krishnamoorthi, who recently wrapped up shooting Mittal Vs Mittal, is the former wife of director Shekhar Kapur.
