After seeing the front page report on the Rakhi Sawant gun controversy, veteran actress Rakhee Gulzar telephoned Mid Day to say that the Italian 8 mm pistol, which two arrested UP criminals claimed was Rakhi’s, actually belonged to her. And, Rakhee claims, it wasn’t a real pistol as presumed by the UP police, but a fake one.
Rakhee said that the dummy pistol, along with other valuables worth Rs 7 lakh, was stolen from her Bandra residence in January and that, until she read the news in Mid Day, neither she nor the Bandra police had any clue. The pistol looked like a real one, I even used it for a film shoot. It was a gift from Salim Khan.
I was always keen to know who the people behind the theft were, and, till we read Mid Day, there was no news about the culprits. Rakhee now wants the Bandra police to get the accused, Keshav Pandey (28) and Chandrakant Mishra (32), transferred to Mumbai for interrogation.
, Assistant Police Inspector Anil Bhadgujar of Bandra police station, who is investigating the case, said,Rakhi did not mention any gun in her complaint to us. We will get in touch with the UP police and seek custody of the arrested accused. We will probe the case from all angles. Also, we will record Rakhee’s statement again.
