Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s niece filed a second complaint against Nawaz’s brother at a Delhi Police Station. She claims, ” Minazuddin forced himself on me. On resisting, he took off his belt, whacked me on the chest.” In a shocking revelation, the 20-year-old states her disturbing account of sexual harassment she faced at the hands of Nawaz’s brother. She adds how Nawaz has always been unconcerned about this as he never believed her accusations. Instead he would tell her, “Which movie are you watching for you to cook up such allegations? This isn’t possible!”
Nawaz’s niece who is now married further adds how horrifying it has been for her since no one paid any heed to this despite her raising alarms several times. “I was 9 when it began happening to me, but I didn’t understand what was happening to me then. I didn’t have any knowledge of why he’s touching me in such ways. But as I grew, I began realising that this isn’t right. And I didn’t tell them once, but I told them repeatedly. And it continued even after I had told them as nobody supported me.”
The girl also recounts one of the most scary incidents of her life when Minza had hit her with his belt for not obeying. She shared, “One time, when I had gone to Delhi in September 2017 for a family function, things had gone so far that Minaz had come to my room while I was resting at night, playing some game on my phone. My dadi had gone downstairs to meet someone. Minaz had come and started touching me inappropriately, again. I screamed, but he held my mouth, and continued touching me. He tried forcing himself on me, but I kept resisting. I shouted again, so he removed his belt and began whacking me ferociously on my chest and back for at least 5 whole minutes. He even started pulling my hair and hitting me.”
