Raveena Tandon Recalls Mob Attack, Says Similar Thing Happened With Richa Chadha: 'It's A Planned Thing'

In June, Raveena Tandon and her driver were attacked by a mob in Mumbai amid allegations of rash driving. In a recent interview with NewsX Live, Raveena shared that Mumbai Police indicated the attack was pre-planned. She also mentioned that her friend, actress Richa Chadha experienced a similar mob incident the next day. Raveena expressed concern over these intimidation tactics and said that Richa had to settle the matter because there were no CCTV cameras to capture the truth

Raveena said, “Unfortunately, this has been going on in Mumbai, which is a planned kind of a thing. Jo ki darane ki baat hai (to intimidate). Jab ye mob ka incident hua (When this mob incident happened), in fact, the next day, my friend Richa Chadha called me. She said, ‘Raveena, you won’t believe it, the same thing happened!’ The same thing happened with Richa, and unfortunately, no CCTV cameras to record the truth. In fact, she had to pay up. She had to settle the matter. The cops told her that settle it. She, in fact, the poor thing, went ahead and settled.”

Raveena Tandon said that the police believe her mob incident was planned to get money. She described how the mob tried to break into her house while her children were inside and her husband was away. Raveena and her staff blocked the gate to stop them, insisting that the police should take care of it.

“I remember, the mob was so aggressive. They were entering my house. My children were upstairs at home. My husband wasn’t at home. Jo mere male members of staff dikh rahe the unko, wo kheech ke maar rahe the unko. In fact, gate pe main khadi ho gayi aur meri jo do domestic staff ki members hain, jo saalo se hain mere sath, hum gate par khade ho gaye the that no one will enter the house. Aur wo dhakka de de ke bol rahe the aap bas driver ko bahar bhej dijiye. Toh maine kaha uski galti hai toh police ko aa jane dijiye, fir aap le jaye usko. (They were bashing up male members of my staff. Me and two female members of my staff stood at the gate so that no one enters the house. They kept pushing and demanding us to surrender the driver. I said if the driver is at fault, let the police come and take him). Who are you to give justice? Who are you to lynch him? Aap kyu maara peeti karna chahte ho? No hitting! Please don’t hit anyone. But ek jo mob frenzy ho jati hai na jab sab sath mein ho jate hain (it was like a mob frenzy, when everyone gets together),” Raveena added.

In June, a viral video captured a group of locals accusing Raveena Tandon and her driver of assaulting three women. When Raveena stepped out of her vehicle to talk to the crowd, she was reportedly pushed and hit. In the video, she can be heard saying, “Please don’t hit me,” while a man claimed her driver had hit his mother and accused Raveena of being intoxicated and starting the altercation. The incident took place on Carter Road in Bandra, Mumbai.
