A heated incident happened outside Bollywood actor Raveena Tandon’s residence in Mumbai’s Bandra last night, stemming from a minor parking dispute. The incident escalated into accusations of physical assault and rash driving, drawing significant attention.
The disturbance began when Ms. Tandon’s driver attempted to reverse and park her car inside the premises. As the driver manoeuvred the vehicle, another car approached the gate, leading to a standoff. Concerned about a potential collision, the occupants of the second car stepped out and confronted the driver.
According to the police, the verbal exchange quickly escalated into a heated argument. Hearing the commotion, Ms. Tandon emerged from her house, attempting to mediate and calm the situation. Despite her efforts, the confrontation continued before the other party eventually departed. The incident, captured in a video circulating on social media, shows Raveena and her driver being accused of physically assaulting women, including an elderly lady.
Upon receiving a call about the altercation, police arrived at the scene and conducted inquiries with Ms. Tandon’s staff. Using the vehicle number, they traced the opposing party, who were subsequently summoned to the police station. However, the individuals involved declined to file any formal complaints. No injuries were reported, and the vehicles did not collide.
A local resident named Mohammed identified the alleged victims as his mother, sister, and niece. In the video, one of the women can be heard threatening to involve the police, stating, “You will have to spend the night in jail. My nose is bleeding.” Ms. Tandon, upon noticing she was being recorded, requested the individuals to stop filming.
The actor has not issued a public statement regarding the allegations. The police have yet to file any formal charges, pending further investigation into the matter.
