Preity Zinta Files Molestation Case against Ness Wadia

BANGALORE: Making advancement in the case against Ness Wadia by Preity Zinta, Mumbai police recorded the statements of two people in connection with the case. While the police did not reveal the identity or the statements made, an official said, they awaits Preity’s statement, who is currently out of the country.

"After collecting some substantial evidence, we will summon Wadia," he said.

The 39-year-old actress had filed a police complaint on Thursday night alleging that she was molested by Wadia (44) inside Wankhede stadium on May 30 when an Indian Premier League match was played between Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings. Zinta and Wadia had broken off their five-year-long relationship a couple of years back but continued to share business interest.

Several players of IPL team Kings XI Punjab, of which Zinta is a co-owner with Wadia, its support staff, and officials of Wankhede Stadium were reported to have been present when the alleged incident took place.

Based on Zinta's written complaint, Marine Drive police have registered an FIR against 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).
