Sadhana summoned to court

Mumbai,June 15 :A local court has summoned actress Sadhana on Wednesday to record her statement in connection with a private complaint filed by builder Yusuf Lakdawala charging her for making defamatory statements against him.

Sadhana had in August last year lodged a complaint with the suburban Santacruz police accusing Lakdawala of issuing death threats and trying to force her to vacate her 3000 sq ft house in Santacruz.

Following the complaint, Lakdawala was arrested in November and let off on bail after a day. The builder then approached the Bandra metropolitan magistrate claiming that he had been falsely implicated and defamed by Sadhana as he had never threatened the actress.

The magistrate had sought for the police to probe the allegations and submit a report. The police after verifying mobile phone data and tracing location of both Sadhana and Lakdawala’s phones, submitted a report stating that the complaint filed by the actress appeared to be false.
