Nawazuddin Siddiqui who is been in the headline since last month because of his divorce has again caught the media, his niece has alleged sexual harassment by his brother and filed an FIR at the Jamia police station in Delhi, reporting the torture she suffered. TOI is in control of a copy of her FIR and her name has been withdrawn as she was minor then. Speaking to ETimes she said, “I have filed an FIR about sexual harassment by my uncle when I was nine years old. My parents were divorced when I was two years old, so I had a step mother. I was tortured a lot. As a child I didn’t understand thinking it was my uncle, but when I grew up I realized it was a different kind of touch. There was violence too.”
She had a court marriage after getting frustrated by her uncle but later it was revealed that now her in-laws are being harassed. “Even after my marriage, my father and Nawaz bade papa was also involved, filed false cases to harass my in-laws. If they would have been strict then this would not have happened. They never believed me. Even now every six months my father files some cases and I am sure he will do something after my complaint too. But I have got a lot of support from my husband for this. I have the proof of all the physical violence, which I had sent to my husband,” she said.
She has also stated that Nawazuddin Siddiqui didn’t support her, the latter also added, “Nawaz bade papa once asked me what I want to do in life, I told him all that was happening with me and that I felt mentally disturbed. But he said there is nothing like that. I thought that at least bade papa (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) would understand, he lives in a different society and would have a different mentality. But he was like ‘chacha hai, aisa kabhi nahi kar sakte’.” Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s niece currently stays in Delhi with her husband and the couple has busied themselves with different jobs.
