I-Day Parade organisers plan to sue Bipasha

Bipasha Basu

New York: Organisers of the controversial India Day Parade in New Jersey plan to sue Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu for breach of contract for not participating in the event and making allegations of "harassment" against two of their volunteers.

Indian Business Association, which had organised the parade, said it has constituted an inquiry headed by New Jersey Superior Court Judge Richard Plechner and will file the case after the inquiry is complete.

Ms.Basu was invited to lead the Independence Day parade in Edison. But she came late and charged that she had gone through a harrowing experience at the hands of persons sent to bring her from a New York hotel.

She said she had gone back to the hotel and decided to return and speak about the humiliation she suffered in the Limousine.

After hearing her, dozens of people left and did not participate in the parade. She claimed she had received some bruises, which were photographed, but did not file any case. — PTI
