New Delhi: Actor Rimi Sen has filed a lawsuit against luxury car manufacturer Land Rover, seeking Rs. 50 cr due to alleged defects and subsequent mental harassment related to her vehicle. She said she has been facing issues with the sunroof, sound system, and rear-end camera.
About the car
Rimi shared that she purchased the car in 2020 for Rs. 92 lakh, but has since faced numerous issues, causing her to bring this to the company's management as a case of negligence and emotional distress. Sen claimed that the car's defects and the company's way of handling the repairs has caused her enough trouble, also leading to mental duress and thus prompting her to take legal action.
As per an NDTV report, the vehicle was pruchased from Satish Motors Pvt. Ltd. an authorised dealer for Jaguar Land Rover, with a warranty valid until January 2023. During COVID-19 and the subsequent pandemic, the car was not used much.
