On Friday morning, Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel posted a series of tweets alleging that Aditya Pancholi extorted more than 1 crore from Kangana. She also tweeted that a complaint against him was lodged in 2007 for “physical abuse harassment and extortion.”
According to Rangoli, Aditya Pancholi had extorted 1 crore from Kangana by saying that he had provided the actor with food and shelter for a duration of three months when Kangana was “homeless”.
“Whoever it may concern, complain against Pancholi had been lodged in 2007 for physical abuse harassment and extortion, he has taken more than 1cr from Kangana saying he has fed her for 3 months when she was homeless ( grocery bill of three months )...,“ wrote Rangoli.
Rangoli also added that even after receiving more than 1 crore, Aditya Pancholi wanted more money and that she herself has been on the receiving end of his extortion messages.
“but he wanted more money after that, last message of extortion I myself [sic] received from him was in 2016 which has been submitted to cops and now FIR has been lodged, she had absolutely no time for all this...”
Rangoli then concluded the tweets by saying that she he has revived this case on her sister’s behalf so that Kangana’s “work is not disturbed.”
