Urfi Javed's security claim: Maharashtra women's panel asks Mumbai police to probe actor's claim in Chitra Wagh controversy

The Maharashtra State Commission for Women has written to the Mumbai police chief and asked the police to investigate a model's security claim and social media influencer Urfi Javed the official said Tuesday.

He said that Javed had sent a complaint letter to the MSCW alleging that BJP leader Chitra Wagh had lodged a complaint against him for political mileage and threatened to beat him up when he interacted with the media Javed said she felt unsafe outside his home.

Javed has sought security in his letter and the MSCW has asked the Mumbai police to take his complaint seriously, the official said. Last week, Javed called MSCW president Rupali Chakankar. "The MSCW wrote a letter to the Mumbai police chief on Monday asking the police to investigate Uorfi Javed's security claim," the official said.

The Mumbai police on Saturday recorded Javed's statement in connection with Chitra Wagh's complaint against him. Wagh, head of Maharashtra BJP's women's wing, filed a complaint against Javed for dressing "inappropriately" in public places.
