Bollywood actor Kadambari Jethwani urged the government to provide protection for her family. Ms. Kadambari and her parents, Narendra Kumar Mehar Singh Jethwani and Asha Jethwani, met Minister for Home Vangalapudi Anitha on Thursday and submitted a representation.
They thanked Ms. Anitha for responding to her complaint and the action taken by the police so far in the case. Mr. Mehar Singh explained how the NTR Commissionerate police arrested them, brought them to Vijayawada by road and produced them before the magistrate on the night of February 4, 2024.
“We don’t know which police [officers] took us into custody, and none of them displayed their ID cards. The police did not tell us in which case they were taking us into custody and the reasons for the arrest. Initially, we thought it was the act of some kidnappers,” Ms. Kadambari said.
“As some top-level police officers and others were involved in the case, there is a threat to us. We request the government to give [us] protection,” the actor urged the Minister.
Speaking to The Hindu, Ms. Kadambari said the Minister responded positively and promised to provide security to her and her family members.
The actor, a native of Juhu in Mumbai, and her parents were staying in Vijayawada for the past few days, alleging that the Ibrahimpatnam police foisted a false case on them and arrested them in February.
