MUMBAI: Television actor Ekta Tiwari (28), who stars in serial 'Tere Mere Sapne', has filed a molestation complaint against her former driver, Sajid Said. Ekta has alleged that Sajid barged into her Mira Road home on Thursday and molested her.
The actor said she was uncomfortable with Sajid's advances and had sacked him on July 15. The driver is absconding. Ekta said Sajid Tiwari (28), the lead female actor in the Hindi serial 'Tere Mere Sapne' on Star Plus had been assigned Sajid (26) as the driver by the production unit three and a half months back to drive her from home to the serial set in Naigaon.
Sajid, a resident of Firdoz Apartment, Ganga Complex in Mira Road's Naya Nagar used to pick up Tiwari at 7.30 am and drop her to her residence at around 10.30 pm. Tiwari had started growing uncomfortable with the driver who she felt was getting infatuated with her. Her fears were proved right when Sajid started sending her love messages on her cellphone after she sacked him.
Around 3.30 pm, Ekta was alone at home when Sajid rang the bell to her house and started abusing her. The actor, who was speaking to her friend Chetan Sharma on the phone, opened the door and was shocked to see Sajid. He allegedly pushed her and barged into her flat in Surya Darshan Apartment at Ramdev Park. When Ekta protested, he allegedly tore her clothes and molested her. She was alone in the flat.
Sharma who heard the commotion over the cell immediately rushed to Tiwari's flat along with residents of the building. Sajid, however, managed to flee. She then lodged a complaint with theNavghar police. Said Tiwari, "What happened on Thursday afternoon was a nightmare. I had removed him from job to avoid any trouble. I least expected him to come to my house," said Tiwari.
Though she hardly interacted with Sajid while being driven to work and back, his actions and possessiveness towards her made her uncomfortable.
Police have booked Sajid booked under sections 354 (outraging modesty), 452 (trespassing), 504 (insult) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.
