New Delhi: Priyanka Chopra admittedly began her year on a happy note when her long-ailing father came back home, hale and hearty.
In fact, the sultry actress called it the best thing to have happened to her since the beginning of 2007. However, the celebrations have been shortlived.
A court in Indore on Thursday directed Priyanka and her father Ashok Chopra to appear before it on March 1 in connection with a case filed by her former secretary.
Magistrate B S Muvel asked the actor to follow orders despite an application moved by the Chopras' counsel seeking a month for them to appear in the court for bail.
Priyanka's former secretary Prakash Jajoo, has alleged in his complaint under section 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of the IPC that gangster Chhota Shakeel had threatened him over phone on behalf of the Chopras for settling a financial dispute between Priyanka and him for an amount of Rs 1.37 crore.
Jajoo reportedly claimed Priyanka owed the money to him as part of his fee for services rendered by him as her secretary and that she has been refusing to pay this amount.
The complaint was filed in the Mhow court by Jajoo, but it was transferred to Indore on the grounds of security after Priyanka submitted an application to the court.
