MUMBAI: Actress Preity Zinta arrived in Mumbai from the US on Sunday, more than a week after she filed a case against her former boyfriend and Kings XI Punjab co-owner Ness Wadia for allegedly molesting, threatening and abusing her.

A senior officer supervising the case, lodged with the Marine Drive police, told an Indian daily that Zinta came by a Jet Airways flight from London. She was immediately whisked away through a special exit to keep her away from the media which had gathered in large numbers outside the arrival lounge.

The officer said that Preity went to her Khar home straight from the airport. “The investigating officer of the case spoke to her over phone and whenever she agrees to record her statement, it will be done accordingly,” the officer said to a question on the recording of her statement. “In all likelihood, it will be done on Monday,” the officer added.

Zinta’s supplementary statement holds key to further the probe. The officer said that the witnesses would be identified from her statement and the sequence of events would come to light. She would also be taken to the Garware pavilion at the Wankhade stadium at a later stage to conduct a spot panchnama of the case.

Zinta had said that the incident took place during the IPL match between Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings on May 30, however, she filed the police complaint on June 12.

She has told in the complaint that Wadia first shouted on team staff and then abused her after she intervened. She left for her seat, when Wadia followed her and allegedly pulled her hand and abused her.
