'Gautam punched, kicked our daughter': Know 5 allegations Nawaz Modi levelled against Raymond boss

Mumbai: The estranged wife of Raymond MD Gautam Singhania, Nawaz Modi, has levelled allegations against the billionaire days after he announced separation from her via social media, according to media reports. Recently, a shocking video also emerged that showed Nawaz Modi allegedly locked out of her husband's Diwali party in Thane.  

Nawaz could be heard saying how she had been stopped by security guards outside Gautam’s house. She had spoken about Chandrakant, a staff member who led the security team of the premises and ‘was stopping her at the gate’. 

Gautam Singhania, 58, had married Nawaz Modi, daughter of solicitor Nadar Modi, in 1999.

Here are the five allegations she levelled against Gautam

Physical assault: Nawaz Modi alleged that Gautam had beat up, punched, and kicked her and their minor daughter early on September 10. Following this, the Ambanis had come to their rescue. She said that while Gautam was trying to stop the cops from arriving at the scene the Ambanis made sure that they arrived.

No active role of company director: Nawaz Modi said that Gautam had asked her to “become deaf, mute and dumb” at the board meetings. She said when she asked him to release her from the role he didn’t allow it and said if she wanted him to provide for her and the kids, she would have to continue the job. She said he called her “angoothachhap”.

No entry to the event: She said that she was invited to the ‘Raymond Awards for Excellence’ event, an event for award distribution, on November 9 but when she arrived, she was not allowed to get in. The video of the incident had gone viral on social media.

Atulya Mafatlal-inspired: She claimed that Gautam Singhania was inspired by late businessman Atulya Mafatlal for doing wrong things to his wife and not allowing anyone to help her. She said Gautam wanted to do to her what Mafatlal did to his wife.

Fake promise of settling things: Nawaz alleged that Gautam has not settled anything yet. She said that Gautam called off the settlements and threatened her to do what she wanted to get her share. 

Nawaz has reportedly sought 75 per cent of Raymond Group's Rs 11,000-crore empire. This is not the first time that the Singhania family has been in the news. Gautam Singhania was earlier in the news after his father Vijaypat Singhania went on record alleging mistreatment and cheating. The elder Singhania had alleged, that son Gautam of unceremoniously kicked him out of the company offices.
