Bollywood actress Rati Agnihotri today
filed a complaint with police in Mumbai
accusing her husband of domestic
violence and intimidation.
"Rati Agnihotri, who married Anil
Virwani in 1985 filed complaint against
him today saying he had mentally
tortured her besides assaulting her
physically," said S Jaykumar, deputy
police commissioner (zone-III).
"A case has been registered against
Virwani under IPC sections 498A
(husband or relative of husband of a
woman subjecting her to cruelty), 323
(voluntarily causing hurt), 350 (use of
criminal force) and 506 (criminal
intimidation)," said Mr Jaykumar.
The 54-year-old actress, who stays in south
Mumbai's Worli area with her architect-
businessman husband and actor son Tanuj,
had been suffering the violence for a long
time, according to her complaint.
"She did not mention any specific reason
as to why her husband tortured and
thrashed her," Mr Jaykumar said, adding
"We will investigate the case and
appropriate action would be initiated."
Police sources said that Ms Agnihotri had
orally complained to police on March 7,
showing abrasions on hands due to the
alleged beating by her husband.
Virwani's business was not doing well and
this could be one of the reasons for him to
lose his temper, police said.
The actress who has acted in several films is remembered mainly for her role in the
1981 blockbuster 'Ek Duje Ke Liye'.
