The actor could not be reached for comments but his manager has denied the charges saying that there was no physical fight.
Police has filed a case against actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui for allegedly assaulting and misbehaving with a woman over a dispute on parking space in their housing society in Mumbai.
Acting on a complaint filed by a 24-year-old woman, who is also a resident of the society, the Versova Police registered a First Information Report against the actor under Section 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) of the Indian Penal Code, an official said.
Mr Siddiqui could not be immediately reached out for comments, however, his manager Anup Pandey has denied the charge.
"It is a false case. The case has been registered without investigation. It is a society issue which has been going on for a long time. There was an argument but no 'hatha pai' (exchange of physical blows) as claimed in the complaint. We will take the matters up," Mr Pandey claimed.
According to the police, a dispute over car parking space has been going on for the past few days in the housing society located at Yari Road in suburban Andheri. Yesterday, the housing society authorities, through a letter, had asked the 41-year-old actor to avoid parking his car at a spot reserved for two-wheelers, police said. An argument broke out between the actor and the complainant today at around 1.15 pm over the parking issue.
The police added quoting the complaint that during the exchange of words, Mr Siddiqui allegedly slapped the woman.
