Bollywood star Nawazuddin Siddiqui is in the news again, but this time it's because of his brother. Ayazuddin Siddiqui, Nawazuddin's elder brother, has been arrested by the Budhana Police in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, for alleged fraud.
All About The Arrest:
Ayazuddin Siddiqui was taken into custody on May 22, 2024. According to reports from ETimes, he is accused of forging a document related to a farmland dispute with a man named Javed Iqbal. Ayazuddin reportedly submitted a fake order letter to the consolidation department, claiming it was from the District Magistrate's court.
The Allegations
In December, Ayazuddin gave the fake order letter to the consolidation department along with an application to resolve his dispute with Javed Iqbal over farming land. This forgery was discovered later, leading to a police case in March 2024. Both Ayazuddin and Javed were charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including fraud and forgery.
Past Controversies
This is not the first time for Ayazuddin. In 2018, he was reportedly booked for posting an objectionable picture that hurt religious sentiments.
In 2020, Nawazuddin Siddiqui found himself embroiled in another controversy surrounding allegations made by his estranged wife, Aaliya Siddiqui. She accused Nawazuddin of mistreating their household maid, claiming that he had physically assaulted her. She alleged that Nawazuddin's brother, Shamas Nawab Siddiqui, was also involved in the incident. These allegations surfaced amidst the backdrop of Aaliya's filing for divorce from Nawazuddin, where she made several accusations against him and his family, including claims of domestic violence and infidelity.

Nawazuddin and his family vehemently denied the allegations regarding the maid, stating that they were baseless and fabricated. They maintained that Aaliya's accusations were part of a larger attempt to tarnish Nawazuddin's reputation and gain leverage in the ongoing divorce proceedings.
The maid controversy added another layer of complexity to the already contentious divorce case between Nawazuddin and Aaliya. While the matter received considerable media attention at the time, the specific details and resolution of the maid controversy may not have been extensively covered in the public domain.
Nawazuddin's Upcoming Projects
Despite the family issues, Nawazuddin Siddiqui continues to focus on his career. He has several movies lined up, including "Noorani Chehra" with Nupur Sanon and "Section 108."
