According to report in Mumbai Mirror, “Zakerabanu alleged that she was speaking with her father over the phone on May 27 when the Sanjeeda, her brother and their mother started yelling at her and beating her up, saying that they didn't want her in their Mumbai home anymore. She took the first flight out to Ahmedabad, where her parents are based, and was admitted to a local hospital in Sarkhej Roza. After being discharged on May 29, she lodged an FIR at Sarkhej Police Station.”
Zakerbanu further said that her in-laws haven’t contacted her since she left her in-laws home. She revealed, “It was the final straw when Anas raised his hand on me in the presence of my mother and sister in their Mumbai home. I was hospitalised after that in Ahmedabad. I was told at the time of our marriage that he is in the construction business but he is mostly home,”
Also, as per news in Tabloid, Sanjeeda and her family then filed a petition to quash the Zakerbanu’s case and allegations. The petition alleged that Zakerabanu had a disturbed relationship with her father due to his orthodox attitude, which adversely affected her equation with her husband, Anas, and made it difficult for her to adjust in the more liberal environment of her marital home. It further stated that on the day of the alleged incident, Zakerabanu informed Anas that she was not well and that she had quit the makeup institute that she was training early to leave for her parents' house. Sanjeeda had been shooting for her daily soap at the time of the alleged incident.
Well, the current development in the case is in Sanjeeda Sheikh’s favour. Actress’ lawyer said, “The Hon’ble Court has passed an order in favour of my client by stating that the investigating agency should not take any coercive steps against her. In other words, the Hon’ble Court accepted our submission that the FIR is baseless, bad in jurisdiction and merely filed to harass my client.”
