Days after Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s wife, Aaliya, claimed she was harassed at the actor’s home, her lawyer has now claimed his client is being tortured by the actor and his family.
In a detailed statement, lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee claimed that the actor and his family deprived Aaliya of food, bed and access to the bathroom and restricted her movement.
In a statement, Siddiquee said: “Mr. Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his relatives have made every effort to remove my client, Ms. Aaliya Siddiqui, from the house. They filed an untenable criminal charge of trespass against her. Then they threatened to arrest her through the police and called her to the police station every day after sunset.”
Nawazuddin Siddiqui's wife Aaliya's lawyer reportedly claims that the actor and his family haven't given his client "food, a bed, or a bathroom to take a bath" in the last week.
Further, he asserted that no police officer had shown up to defend the rights of his client.
"Whilst, I do not want to directly attribute the actions and the failures of the police department to them, yet the fact remains that no police officer ever came to protect my clients rights, even when her modesty was insulted before the police officers. Not only her relationship with Mr Nawazuddin Siddiqui was questioned before the police officer, but even the legitimacy of the minor son was questioned. Yet the police officer did not act on the written complaint given by my client under Section 509 of IPC," the advocate continued.
"Mr Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his family members have in the last seven days ensured that no food, no bed, and no bathroom to take bath is given to my client. They have even posted innumerable male bodyguards all around my client and further installed CCTV cameras in the hall, where my client is currently staying with her minor children," he added.
Aaliya's lawyer also stated that Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his family have taken extra measures to prevent him from getting any signatures from his client in order to initiate the proper legal actions against them.
Nawazuddin’s mother filed a case against Aaliya last week over a property dispute, alleging harassment. She currently resides at the actor’s home in Andheri with her children, Yaani and Shora.
Rizwan further stated that the actor’s family has even ensured that he is not able to obtain any signatures of his client to file appropriate court cases against Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his family.
