In June this year, a shocking video of Raveena Tandon being manhandled outside her Mumbai residence went viral on social media. The clip showed an angry mob attacking her and her staff over alleged drunk driving. However, it was later revealed that neither the actress nor her driver was under the influence of alcohol. Raveena has now stated that the entire incident was planned, suggesting it was part of a criminal group's modus operandi for extortion. She revealed that a similar episode happened with actress Richa Chadha. Raveena Tandon Says Road Rage Incident Was 'Planned'In an interview with NewsX Live, she said, “Unfortunately, this has been going on in Mumbai, which is a planned kind of a thing. Jo ki darane ki baat hai (which is only 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 Recalls Scary Details “Toh mere shayad jo incident hua, wo shayad daraane, dhamkaane ki koshish kar rahe the. Ki kahin main kahu nahi, main settle kar deti hu, main paise de deti hu (So the incident that happened with me, it was probably to intimate, threaten. So that somehow I pay up and settle). But 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.For those unversed, the Mumbai Police had found that the actress' car did not collide with anyone.
