CCTV footage shows Aditya Pancholi assaulting neighbour

Zee Media Bureau

Mumbai: CCTV footage showing actor Aditya Pancholi punching and assaulting his neighbour Bhargav Patel in January has been released. The video clearly shows the actor roughing up his neighbour and also threatening him. Here’s what happens in the video: A very angry Aditya rings the door bell. Bhargav opens the door. Aditya drags him out of his house by his collar, slaps him and threatens him. A third person intervenes to pacify Aditya but the actor refuses to budge and continues to threaten Bhargav. Patel had lodged a written complaint, but no case was registered against his neighbour, known in the past to frequently lose his cool over trivial issues. And the actor had landed in trouble once again last month for attacking his 55-year-old neighbour, an official of the Versova police station said. The incident happened late June 19 when an allegedly inebriated Pancholi pounced on Patel over a minor parking brawl, at their housing society in the posh Versova area of north-west Mumbai. The family has been in news in recent weeks after Sooraj, son of Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, was booked by police on charges of allegedly abetting the suicide of Bollywood actress Nafisa alias Jiah Khan.
