Actor beats actress, demands money

Ahmedabad: A 25-year-old actress, who lives in Satellite and works as an actor in Mumbai, has accused an actor of assaulting her, demanding money, and threatening her to kill her if she refused to work in film projects with him.

Complainant Doli Modi, a resident of Om Tower near Jodhpur Crossroads in Satellite, alleged that the incident occurred on Wednesday night. In her complaint with Satellite police, Doli said that she had met accused Bhaumik Patel, a resident of Tulsipark Society near Vijaynagar Crossroads, around four months ago.

She alleged that since they met, Patel had been pressuring her to work with him but she kept refusing his offer. “Despite this, he used to continue harassing me,” she claimed.

She said that Patel called her up around 9.50 pm on Wednesday and said he would come to her house. She asked him not to do so, yet he landed up at her door around 11 pm. “He began knocking at my door and began screaming out by my name. I told him I will not meet him at night,” she alleged in the FIR.

When he allegedly continued to insist on meeting her, she told him that she would meet him downstairs. She asked her brother to accompany her. “When he saw me, he began demanding Rs 1.5 lakh, alleging that I had taken his money. When I denied his allegations, he began abusing and thrashing me,” she alleged.

She said in the FIR that she suffered internal injuries on her arms and shoulders in the attack. When her brother tried to rescue her, the accused thrashed him, too. She alleged that Patel threatened to kill her if she ever refused to work with him in the film industry.

Her brother called up the police control room. Later, they filed a complaint of causing hurt, uttering abusive words and criminal intimidation against Patel.
