Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has submitted four photographs to Mumbai police showing bruises on her hand inflicted upon her by ex- boyfriend and industrialist Ness Wadia.
The Bollywood actress had alleged that the Wadia scion yelled at her and abused her and went onto physically assault her. The photos were apparently given to the police to substantiate the charge. Ness Wadia has however submitted a list of nine witnesses who claim that the charges levied against him are ‘false’ and made up by Preity to malign his image in the media.
Mumbai Police had registered an FIR against Ness Wadia under IPC Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman).
The Marine Drive Police have so far recorded statements of 12 witnesses including IPL Chief Operating Officer Sundar Raman, BCCI Secretary Sanjay Patel and Chief Operating Officer of Kings XI Punjab Fraser Castellino.
