OMG! “Ferrari Ki Sawaari” director Rajesh Mapuskar arrested for domestic violence!

Not the first time that a Bollywood personality is being accused of a crime. Latest addition in the list is Rajesh Mapuskar, the director of “Ferrari Ki Sawaari”, who has been arrested on charges of domestic violence. The incident took place on Tuesday night, when his wife Nisha filed an FIR against Rajesh accusing him of the same.

“My husband has rented a plush flat in Oberoi Woods, in the vicinity, and has been paying around Rs 65,000 per month for maintenance”, Nisha said. She further added that her husband hadn’t paid the society bills for months.

More to our shock, Nisha accused Rajesh of forcefully admitting her to Manisha hospital, calling her mental unstable. While I was sedated, Rajesh was in an extramarital affair with Maheep Dhillon, the wife of Anil Naidu, President, Lintas Productions. Maheep had assisted him on Ferrari Ki Sawaari. He forged my signature and got me admitted into Masina. I was given 15 shocks though 12 is the maximum without my consent under the supervision of Dr. Machiswala,patient confidentiality agreements by discussing my condition with the media claiming that I was mentally unstable. Do I sound unstable!the lady sounded completely devastated.

“I married him and moved with him into a chawl because I was in love with him. We were happy living off his modest income. I never disturbed him on the sets of any of his films. My kids and I have been living off the gold I got when I was married, which is sold off now. This should never happen to any woman.”- the brokenness could be felt from her words.

Rajesh, presently, is in police custody and is is accused of forgery under Indian Penal Code Act 465, 468 and 471 and for domestic violence under IPC Act 498 A.

The filmmaker was in limelight after the release of his directorial debut Ferrari Ki Sawaari. He had also assisted Rajkumar Hirani in the Munnabhai series.
