Actress files police complaint, alleges her industrialist ex-boyfriend verbally abused her and pulled her hand in front of spectators during the IPL play-off match between Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings at Wankhede stadium on May 30

Actress Preity Zinta has registered a case against her ex-boyfriend Ness Wadia, with whom she jointly owns Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), for allegedly hurling abuses at her and pulling her hand while she was trying to leave during the IPL's play-off between their team and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Wankhede Stadium on May 30.


Based on Zinta's complaint, Marine Drive police have registered a case of outraging modesty, insult and criminal intimidation against Wadia.

The actress and Wadia had ended their relationship in 2009. Zinta approached the Marine Drive police station on Thursday night, nearly two weeks after the incident, and registered an FIR against Wadia. The FIR states that Wadia had hurled abuses at Preity during the KXIP vs CSK match at Wankhede Stadium around 8 pm on May 30.
