The Mumbai-based Wadia Group has filed a police complaint alleging threats from underworld don Ravi Pujari, and claimed that the latter in a message had said, "Don't do any mischief with the lady", in an apparent reference to actress Preity Zinta.
The Wadia Group is headed by industrialist Nusli Wadia, whose son Ness Wadi was once involved with Zinta.
Earlier, the Bollywood actress had filed a molestation case against Wadia for use of force and foul language to shame her in public, following which workers from a hospital owned and run by Ness Wadia filed a petition against Zinta at Marine Drive police station on Monday, saying that she had misused Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Zinta had also issued a public statement on Facebook regarding the molestation case.
