Bollywood actor Raveena Tandon and her
driver were allegedly attacked by a mob in Carter Road, Bandra amid rash
driving claims against the driver. A viral video shows a group of angry
residents accusing Raveena and her driver of assaulting three women and the
actor being cornered by an agitated mob.
When asked about the incident, the Khar
police said that there was no injury caused to anyone and there was no case of
rash or drunk driving either. While no FIR has been registered, a station diary
entry has been made at the Khar police station, the official added. There was
no word yet from Raveena on the incident.
In a viral video, a man had claimed that
Raveena’s driver hit his mother, and when questioned, she started assaulting
her. He had claimed the incident happened when he was walking with his mother,
sister, and niece near the actor’s house.
According to the Khar police official,
CCTV footage from the vicinity of the Khar-based building, where the incident
occurred, showed that women were in close proximity to the actor's car but were
not struck by it.
The video, however, allegedly portrayed a
different picture. The complainant claimed on the video that Tandon’s driver
allegedly came out of the car and started abusing and assaulting his mother and
daughter. Following this, a crowd of angry residents gathered at the spot and
allegedly attacked the driver.
After Raveena got out of her vehicle to speak
to the crowd, she was allegedly pushed and hit, he said. In the viral video,
Raveena is heard saying ‘please don’t hit me’. In the video, a man is heard
saying that Raveena’s driver hit his mother, and when questioned, started
assaulting her. Claiming that the actress was inebriated, the man said that
when she stepped out of the vehicle, she started assaulting the woman. The Khar
police said that they are investigating the case though no First Information
Report has been registered yet.
Raj Tilak Roushan, Deputy Commissioner of
Police (Zone 9) said that the complainants, who identified themselves as
Mohammed and Tando, had both approached the police on Saturday night but they
reached a compromise and none of the two pressed for the registration of the
FIR.
