Actor Raveena Tandon faced a chaotic and violent incident in Bandra late Saturday night. Following accusations that her driver was involved in rash driving, a mob confronted Tandon, accusing her of abusing and assaulting women at the scene. A widely shared video shows the actor, dressed in white, pleading with the crowd, saying, “Please don’t hit me.”
The situation escalated as locals and the alleged victims surrounded Tandon.
One woman, bleeding from her nose, claimed that Tandon had assaulted her. Amid the commotion, people called the police, and some in the crowd could be heard urging others to “Hit her.”
According to Indian media reports, Tandon allegedly exited her car in a drunken state to defend her driver and struck one of the women’s mothers, resulting in serious head injuries.
However, conflicting accounts suggest that the car did not actually make contact with anyone. Tandon has since sought legal counsel to address the allegations.
In the aftermath of the incident, Tandon was seen requesting onlookers not to record videos, repeatedly asking the mob not to push or hit her.
