CCTV Footage Reveals The Truth About The Incident
CCTV footage from outside Raveena's residence has surfaced online, showing three women waiting outside her house, as she arrived in her car. Later, they can be seen getting into a heated altercation, first with the driver and then with the actor.
Raveena is heard pleading with the mob not to harm her, saying, “Please don't hit me, please don't push.” A social activist posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) mentioning allegations of Raveena and her driver assaulting an elderly woman near Rizvi Law College. The family claimed that Raveena was under the influence of alcohol and that the woman had sustained head injuries. They had gone to Khar Police Station. The post tagged Mumbai Police, the Commissioner of Mumbai Police, and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Sources, sharing details of the first incident, claimed that the actor was brutally attacked by the mob. The three women, who claimed to be victims, had gathered outside the actor's residence and were the first to pick a fight and hurl abuses at the driver, said the source.
“If the driver had injured them first, why didn't they go to the police station and file an FIR?” the source questioned, adding that the accusations against the driver were false.
“While Raveena was trying to calm down the mob, a man came out of nowhere and slapped her hard. He also pulled her by the hair, causing her pain,” the source told FPJ.
“Because there was no accident, the Khar police did not register a complaint or an FIR. The accusations are completely false and baseless.”
