Rati Agnihotri’s son Tanuj Virwani calls the power theft allegations as an attempt to malign them

Senior actress Rati Agnihotri and businessman husband Anil Virwani were booked in case of power theft, amounting to a whopping Rs 48 lakh, at their Worli house. Reportedly, the actress and her entrepreneur hubby tampered the electricity meter of their Worli house which was noticed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) when they visited their residence.

A police officer had noticed that the couple had apparently not paid for 1,77,647 units of electricity by tampering the meter since April 4, 2013. Pravin Padwal, the deputy commissioner of police had quoted, “We have registered an offence against the accused persons on the complaint of electricity engineer and further investigation is on.”

Now, Rati’s son Tanuj Virwani has come out in the open, defending his parents and calling this as a desperate attempt to malign their family’s reputation. He said, “This is just an effort by some people in our housing society to tarnish our names. I see this as a desperate attempt to malign us. It’s such a ridiculous accusation. I really don’t know how to react to this outrageous allegation. We will clear our name once we are back in Mumbai.We have to get to the bottom of this.”

Rati Agnihotri hasn’t yet commented on this incident.
