Four years after Preity's complaint, 500-page chargesheet filed against Wadia
A 500-odd page chargesheet has been filed against businessman Ness Wadia in the Metropolitan Magistrate's court in Esplanade, Mumbai. The action comes four years after a complaint was lodged against the scion by Preity Zinta. The chargesheet is filed under Sections 354, 506 and 509 of the Indian Penal Code. Here's more.
Preity had levelled molestation charges against Wadia
It was in June 2014 that Preity went up to the Police and alleged that Wadia had misbehaved with her during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match on 30 May the same year. The actress also presented four photographs to support her charges of molestation and intimidation. The pictures had bruise-like marks on her right arm.
Wadia dismissed the allegations against him
After the matter was taken to the Police, Nadia had to pay a personal bond of Rs. 20,000 to get released. All this while, the business tycoon continued to defend himself. Refuting all the charges, he later handed over a list of nine witnesses to the cops who could vouch for his innocence.
