Preity’s molestation case dismissed

In a major development, the Bombay High Court on Wednesday quashed a case of molestation and harassment filed by Bollywood actress Preity Zinta against her ex-boyfriend and business tycoon Ness Wadia. Zinta had levelled the allegations against the Wadia scion during an Indian Premier League match on May 30, 2014 at the Wankhede Stadium when they were co-owners of the King XI Punjab team which was playing against Chennai Super Kings.

The matter came up in the chamber of Justice Ranjit More and Justice Bharati Dangre when both Zinta and Wadia were also present.

A Wadia Group official, while confirming the developments, declined to comment on the matter.

As per Zinta’s complaint, Wadia allegedly grabbed her arms, abused and molested her and that she lodged a police complaint against him on June 13, 2014.
