Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui on Monday denied the allegations of physical assault on a woman as false. Appearing before police, a day after an FIR was filed against him on the basis of a complaint by a woman that the actor assaulted her daughter after a brawl over parking space issue, Siddiqui said, “Being a responsible citizen I came & gave my statement. Society’s members are with me and the allegations are false.”
The actor was charged under section 354 of the IPC that deals with assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty. The complainant said that her 24-year-old daughter had been manhandled by the actor, his brother and support staff on Sunday afternoon.
