India, Sept. 13 -- The ongoing dispute within the Cine and TV Artistes' Association (CINTAA) has escalated, with allegations of documents being removed from its office amid a legal battle and court-mandated elections. The row intensified after videos showing former president Poonam Dhillon, Padmini Kolhapure, Upasana Singh and others arguing over the attempt to move documents and access to the office surfaced online. "We were taking the papers to the CINTAA office to safeguard," says Poonam. She stresses that the documents contained years of records belonging to CINTAA members. "These are records of around 8,000 members. It is not of the last one or two years," she says, adding, "What are we taking? Are we taking the property? No, we are taking our CINTAA members' information, their KYCs. We do not want that to be compromised and fall into the hands of unscrupulous people." Poonam alleges that the confrontation became "rude, violent and abusive" and that their cars were blocked. "On Thursday, we filed an NC against them. Because they were very rude and violent and abusive and all that kind of stuff against us. They blocked our cars," she says. The veteran actor also alleges that the ongoing dispute has affected CINTAA's finances, claiming that its bank accounts have been frozen: "Today we have no working bank account." She adds that the situation has also affected the association's ability to provide welfare and medical assistance to members. Speaking about the CINTAA election held on September 12, Poonam maintains that the process is not valid and questions Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) intervention in CINTAA's internal matters. "FWICE has no business interfering in CINTAA's internal matters according to their constitution and according to our constitution," she says. The election results were not out till the time of going to press....
