Domestic violence charges filed against Om Puri

Mumbai, Aug 26 (IANS) Nandita Puri has reportedly filed a case against her husband and actor Om Puri at a police station here alleging domestic violence.

Journalist-columnist Nandita filed the complaint at the Versova Police Station on Aug 23.

"He has been accused of domestic violence. A complaint was filed by his wife on the 23rd of August. There have been no developments since then. The actor is not in custody yet," a police official from the police station told IANS.

However, the official refused to reveal more information about the case.

This is not the first time Nandita and Om Puri are facing problem. In 2009, when Nandita came out with a biography on her husband titled "Unlikely Hero: The Story Of Om Puri" highlighting some of his most private sexual incidents, it had upset the Padma Shri winner.
