Veteran singer Asha Bhosle has approached police seeking registration of FIR against her tenant and yesteryear actress Sadhana, alleging thon the latter was not allowing her use the garden at the bungalow in suburban Khar, police said today.
Following the complaint, police have initiated an inquiry into the matter, they said.
The 68-year-old actress, known for lead roles in films like 'Mera Saya', 'Woh Kaun Thi' to call a few, have been staying at the ground floor of the two-storeyed 'Sangeeta' bungalow owned by the songstress. Besides Sadhna, builder Yusuf Lakdawala stays at the second floor whereas actress Baby Naaz lives at the first floor, police said adding the entire three are tenants.
"Sadhana Nayyar is the tenant in respect of the bottom floor premises only.
However, she is badly claiming tenancy in respect of the garden abutting the bottom floor premises in Sangeeta bungalow by creating record as also restricting free and unhindered access to the garden to me and my representatives/servants/agents. The said garden is in my possession," Bhosle said in a writing she had submitted to Santacruz police station last month.
"My uninterrupted lawful possession of the said premises is now being sought to be disturbed with malafied intentions by the said Sadhana on a false pretext and by obstructing and interfering with the entry/access to the said premises by her representatives/servants/agents," she said.
The virtuoso singer said she was approaching the police to file an FIR and take immediate action against Sadhna over her alleged claim of tenancy in respect of the garden.
"The garden was never set free to her. The similar always remained in my possession," Bhosle stated within the complaint. In a related case, Sadhana had in August 2010 lodged a complaint with Santacruz police accusing Lakdawala of issuing death threats and looking to force her to vacate the ground.
The actress had also alleged that Lakdawala desired to redevelop the valuables for which he have been terrorising her and asking her to go away the bottom floor residence, police said.
Lakdawala was arrested in November 2010 and let off on bail after an afternoon. Lakdawala then approached the Bandra Magistrate claiming he were falsely implicated and defamed by Sadhana denying that he had ever threatened the actress.
In October last year, a magistrate had granted bail to Sadhana who appeared before the court after a defamation case was filed against her by Lakdawala.
