MUMBAI: Jennifer Mirza, wife of film-maker Saeed Mirza, had a rude surprise waiting for her when she returned from her Goan holiday on Sunday.

Twenty-four hours since she saw her name in the newspapers in connection with the naval War Room leak, Jennifer is livid. β€œMy first reaction was, I know it’s not me and told myself not to get worried,” she told DNA. β€œBut then it is a rare name and I know there is not another Jennifer Mirza in Goa.”

Last Thursday, the CBI had raided several places throughout India in connection with the War Room leak. One such office, which the CBI sleuths raided, was reported to belong to a woman named Jennifer Mirza in Goa.

As the story emerged in the media, the Mirzas saw friends and close family pop the question: β€œWhat is Jennifer up to in Goa?”

An angry Jennifer said, β€œI just rang up my next-door neighbours in west Margao and they confirmed that my place is locked,” she said. β€œThere is a rare statistical possibility that there is another woman bearing my name in Goa. If she is there, through the media, I want to know who she is,” she said.

Saeed Mirza was equally angry. β€œI’m sure there is no second Jennifer Mirza in Goa,” he said. β€œSo is this a case of mischief? Or sloppy journalism?”

Mirza is taking no chances and has already started contacting his friends in New Delhi, including top lawyer Indira Jaising. β€œThis is so insulting and slanderous,” he said. β€œI will take these guys to the cleaners.”
