Even before the police could move ahead with regard to the Preity Zinta-Ness Wadia molestation case, the Wadia family has alleged that the businessman has received a threat call from the underworld.

Ness Wadia's father Nusli Wadia claimed that his son has been threatened by an underworld don and a complaint regarding the same was filed at the N M Joshi Marg police station in Mumbai, claimed reports.

Reports further said that the police had transferred the case to the Mumbai crime branch anti-extortion cell.

Meanwhile, the Marine Drive police are contemplating adding charges of stalking against Ness Wadia and are seeking legal opinion on Preity Zinta's allegation that he was warned by her to behave and stop following her through a series of e-mails, sources said.

The investigating team will seek copies of alleged emails that Preity Zinta claimed she sent Ness Wadia over a period of time, asking him to stop following her. "We will study the contents of the emails and see if it fits into section 354 (d) of the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013," said a senior official.
