The internet, from the past few days, has been buzzing with the shocking revelations made by Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s niece about his brother Minazuddin. She has accused the latter of sexually harassing her when she was just nine years old. The accuser also went onto spill out some details about her alleged ordeal. An FIR against Minazuddin has been lodged at Delhi’s Jamia police station. As for Nawazuddin’s reaction to the same, his niece stated that he didn’t help her since he wasn’t ready to believe her and supported his brother instead.
Now, Hindustan Times got in touch with the Kick actor to know his side of the story on this matter; however, Nawaz brushed them off. The actor thanked them for showing concern and, at the same time he refused to comment on this controversy. He said, “Thank you for your concern, but on this, no comment.” In an exclusive with us, the complainant shared Nawaz’s reaction to her filing an FIR against his brother. She said, “Bade Papa Nawaz called me the very same day I filed the FIR, asking why are you doing this? So, I told him that I have always told you about all my suffering but you never helped me.”
“Then he said in case you need anything then call me on the same number and I was surprised as he didn't call me for the last 5 years. Indirectly, he also offered me financial help but I didn't take it. Right now I have come to my hometown Budhana and he is also here. Our house is just next to each other but he personally didn't came to talk to me but a common relative of us had come to tell us that they are asking to take the FIR back or else they will do a counter FIR on us,” continued his niece.

This is just the beginning. Thanking God for sending so much support already.

In an interview with Bollywood Life, Nawaz’s niece had recalled her horrific encounter with Minaz by saying, “One time, when I had gone to Delhi in September 2017 for a family function, things had gone so far that Minaz had come to my room while I was resting at night, playing some game on my phone. My dadi had gone downstairs to meet someone. Minaz had come and started touching me inappropriately, again. I screamed, but he held my mouth and continued touching me. He tried forcing himself on me, but I kept resisting. I shouted again, so he removed his belt and began whacking me ferociously on my chest and back for at least 5 whole minutes. He even started pulling my hair and hitting me.”
