TNN | Jun 27, 2014, 12.00 AM IST

Actress Preity Zinta, who has accused her former boyfriend Ness Wadia of abusing and threatening her, has apparently shown her bruises to her neighbour.

An Indian Express report says that a neighbour of the actress has told police that she showed him bruises on her arm on May 31, a day after she was allegedly molested and abused by Ness Wadia.

Quoting the actress' neighbour Danish Merchant, who is a builder by profession, the report adds that he went to meet her the next day. She showed a bruise on her elbow that she got when Ness grabbed and pulled her. She also reportedly asked him if this is how you treat a girl?

Police sources have revealed that Mr Merchant is one of the four key witnesses of the incident that happened on May 30 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, during an IPL match. He has already given a statement to the police and said that he was seated at the Garware Pavilion where the incident occurred. He has told police that he saw American national Jean intervene when Ness grabbed Preity's arm and heard Jean tell Ness to back off and stay away from her.

Saw Ness grabbing Preity's arm, says witness

Mumbai, June 26, 2014, DHNS

A common friend of industrialist Ness Wadia and Preity Zinta on Thursday told the police he saw the former grabbing the Bollywood actor's arm on May 30 but could not hear their conversation, as recording of statements of witnesses continued in the criminal complaint filed by her.

Jai Kanojia is the latest witness to record his statement in the June 12 complaint of Zinta, who has accused Wadia, her former boyfriend, of abusing and threatening her during an IPL match between Kings XI Punjab and Chennai SuperKings at the Wankhede Stadium here on May 30.

The 44-year-old industrialist, co-owner of Kings XI Punjab along with Zinta (39), has dismissed her charges as false and baseless.

"The statement of Jai Kanojia was recorded and some more witnesses will be called in the next few days," said a senior police official privy to the investigation.

"In his statement, Kanojia, who was in Garware pavilion with the two, stated he saw Ness grabbing Preity's arm but could not hear their conversation due to the noise of spectators during the match."

With this, investigators have so far recorded the statements of nine witnesses, including Indian Premier League COO Sundar Raman and BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel, in connection with the case.
