Raveena Tandon, Richa Chadha were victims of 'planned' mob attacks
What's the story
In June, Raveena Tandon and her driver were assaulted by a mob in Mumbai following accusations of reckless driving.
In a recent interview with NewsX Live, the actor revealed that the mob attack she and her driver faced was premeditated. She also revealed that actor Richa Chadha faced a similar incident the next day.
"Unfortunately, this has been going on in Mumbai, which is a planned kind of thing," she said.
Chadha's ordeal
'She had to pay up...settle the matter'
Tandon revealed that Chadha was forced to settle her case financially.
"The next day, my friend Richa Chadha called me. She said, 'Raveena, you won't believe it, the same thing happened!' The same thing happened with Richa, and unfortunately, no CCTV cameras to record the truth."
"In fact, she had to pay up. She had to settle the matter...She, in fact, the poor thing, went ahead and settled," Tandon said.
Revelations
Tandon recalled the night of the incident
Further, she revealed that the police have now concluded that the mob incident was premeditated, likely for extortion.
She recalled, "The mob was so aggressive, they were even trying to enter my house. My children were upstairs and my husband wasn't home."
"They were beating up the male members of my staff...They kept pushing and demanding that I send the driver outside. I told them if he is at fault, let the police come and take him."
