Ness has termed all allegations as fictitious and unwarranted
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Preity Zinta, who has accused industrialist Ness Wadia of molestation, now claims the former boyfriend had thrown lit cigarettes at her and had even locked her up in a room much before the May 30 Wankhede Stadium incident in Mumbai, after which she filed a police complaint.
“Ness’s behaviour towards me was getting more and more aggressive and violent over a period of time. From throwing burning cigarettes at my face to locking me up in rooms and manhandling me, I have seen it all with him,” she said in a letter addressed to Mumbai police chief Rakesh Maria. A source close to Wadia has dismissed the allegations.
Preity had submitted the note to Mr Maria on June 30 when she met him to seek permission to go abroad.
“I (Zinta) just want him (Wadia) to be kept away from me so I can live in peace, otherwise one unfortunate day, in a fit of rage, he will kill me and that really scares me,” she said in the letter, according to a police official attached to the investigation. A few close friends of both Preity and Ness have been named as witnesses.
“I had no intention to harm him (Wadia) in anyway by lodging a police complaint, but I had no option left but to come to the police department. I am genuinely paranoid that he will try to harm me directly or indirectly in the future,” she said. In her complaint to the police on June 12, Zinta had accused Wadia of molesting, abusing and threatening her during an IPL match between Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings on May 30 at Wankhede Stadium.
When contacted, a source close to Wadia said, “This is a planned attempt to malign the reputation of Ness Wadia. All the allegations are fictitious and unwarranted.”
