Mumbai: Andheri Metropolitan Court on Tuesday has issued a summon to actress Kangana Ranaut and her sister Rangoli Chandel, in context of the criminal defamation case filed by Bollywood actor Aditya Pancholi in 2017.
In a telephonic conversation with ETV Bharat, the actor revealed: "There were four summons issued, one Aditya Pancholi Vs Kangana Ranaut, Aditya Pancholi Vs Rangoli Chandel and Zarina Wahab Vs Kangana Ranaut and Zarina Wahab VS Rangoli Chandel."
Aditya's lawyer Sreya Shrivastava stated: "The next hearing in the matter is on July 26 where the actress is supposed to be present for the case."
Kangana Ranaut had alleged in the past that she was in an insulting relationship with Pancholi when she was a newcomer in Bollywood. She had also accused Pancholi of physical violence and assault.
The actor in a statement said that the dispute began in 2017 when Ranaut accused him of abuse. Following the defamatory statements made by the Ranaut, Aditya and his wife approached the court to file a defamation case against the actress and her sister.
Addressing to the issue the actor had earlier said: "The police is doing the investigation. This is a false rape case. Kisi par false rape case karna usko frame karna kitni galat baat hai. Rangoli made an application that charged me with rape and I have made this application that I have this evidence that they are trying to frame me. The whole case is under investigation right now."
