Ameesha Patel also claimed that Prakash Chandra even made her miss evening flight to Mumbai and threatened to leave her in his village if she didn’t agree and go along. She was quoted saying, “But when I reached Mumbai I had to let the world know the truth. I could have been raped and killed. My car was surrounded at all times by his people and they would refuse to let my car move till I didn’t do as he said. He trapped me. And put my life in danger. This was his way of operating.”
