The Mumbai Police has said that a false complaint was filed against actress Raveena Tandon accusing her of reckless driving, assault, and being drunk. She was accused of assaulting three women, including a senior citizen, after her driver allegedly hit them with her car but the CCTV footage proved that the accusations were wrong.

A senior Mumbai Police official told Mid-Day, “The complainant gave a false complaint in the alleged video. We checked the entire CCTV footage of the society and found that the actress’s driver was reversing the car from the road into the society when this family was crossing the same lane. The family stopped the car and told the driver that he should check if people were behind the car before reversing. This argument started between them.”

“This argument escalated into abusive language, and actress Raveena Tandon arrived at the spot to check what had happened with her driver. The actress tried to protect the driver from the mob; however, the mob started abusing her. Both Raveena Tandon and the family went to the Khar police station and gave written complaints. Later, they both also submitted letters stating they did not want to register any complaints,” the official said.

He further added that nobody was injured in this incident. "We checked the CCTV footage, and the car did not hit anyone. The actress was not drunk," the official said.

According to media reports, as the dispute heated up, Raveena stopped by to check on her driver and made an effort to shield him from the crowd. “This argument escalated into abusive language, and actress Raveena Tandon arrived at the spot to check what had happened with her driver.
