Gangster warned us not to harass Preity: Wadias
The Preity Zinta-Ness Wadia mess turned murkier on Wednesday with the industrialist's group lodging a complaint with the police that gangster Ravi Pujari has warned it against "harassing" the actor.
The office of industrialist Nusli Wadia filed a case with the N M Joshi Marg police station on Tuesday, saying his personal secretary received a threatening call on the office phone followed by a text message on the mobile phone from someone claiming to be Pujari the day before.
Pujari, a splinter from Mumbai don Chhota Rajan's gang, is believed to be holed up in Australia and is wanted in Mumbai and Mangalore in over three dozen cases, mostly extortions bids. Police have registered a case of criminal intimidation and transferred it to the anti-extortion cell.

A crime branch official said when the caller wanted to speak to Nusli Wadia, he was told the industrialist was out of the country. He then left a message: "We are all from underworld. Preity Zinta should not be harassed or else... .''
Within an hour, the caller rang again, but the secretary disconnected. Soon, the secretary received a text message that said: "Give message to Wadia, don't f*** around with Preity Zinta or else I will f*** whole of your business. Don Ravi Pujari."
"Preliminary inquiries suggest the call was made using VOIP (voice over internet protocol, a technology that allows calls over the internet) and the mobile number from which Wadia's secretary received the SMS was from Iran," said police chief Rakesh Maria.
Asked if it was a prank call, Maria said: "The crime branch will probe all those possible angles in this threat case."
Senior crime branch officials said the call could have been from Pujari, who is always looking to grab publicity. Last month, he had called up NSEL payment scandal accused Jignesh Shah's lawyer and demanded money. "If you see his past record, he has always tried to grab publicity to run his extortion racket. His victims are mostly from the film industry," said a senior IPS officer.
Bollywood personalities like Mahesh Bhatt, Karishma Kapoor's husband Sanjay Kapoor, Salman Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Akshay Kumar, Boney Kapoor and Viveck Oberoi have been at the receiving end of Pujari's racket.
Zinta's lawyer Hitesh Jain and the Wadia group spokesperson declined comment on the development.

Last Friday, Zinta had filed a complaint with the police against former boyfriend Ness, co-owner with her of IPL team Kings XI Punjab, accusing him of molestation and abusing her in public at Wankhede Stadium's Garware Pavilion during an IPL match on May 30. The Bombay Dyeing scion has denied the allegations as false and baseless.
The police are baffled that despite a crackdown on Pujari's henchmen, some film personalities and hoteliers are still talking to him over VOIP. In 2010, the crime branch had arrested Khar Gymkhana member Ravi Punjabi and Chembur-based builder Rakesh Sharma for passing on phone numbers of businessmen and film personalities to Pujari, who called and tried to extort money.
