Pancholi, on Tuesday, said: “Reacting to the defamation case, Kangana, Rangoli and their lawyer, Rizwan Siddique, decided to file the complaint. Siddique even threatened me with a rape case on January 6, 2019.”

Pancholi claimed he had a number of videos and phone recordings that purportedl­y show Siddique threatenin­g him. His statement was recorded on Sunday. “I submitted my applicatio­n with the police against Siddique, Kangana and Rangoli earlier this month. I have submitted the video in the police station and court. Rape is the worst kind of crime that can happen [to any woman],” he said.

According to sources, Rangoli, in her complaint filed last month, stated that Pancholi’s wife, actor Zarina Wahab, was also in the know of the incidents between Ranaut and Pancholi.

When approached for a comment, Siddique said the complaint submitted by them at Versova police station was confidenti­al and he could not speak about it. Rangoli said, “I don’t want to talk about the complaint right now.”
