Harry Potter actress AFSHAN AZAD's father and brother have been charged with threatening to kill her.
The 22-year-old, who plays witch Padma Patil in four of the wizard movies, was allegedly attacked by her two family members at her home in Manchester, England in May (10).
Her dad and brother allegedly began arguing with the star over her boyfriend and demanded that she end the relationship.
When Afshan refused she was allegedly attacked and left "badly bruised", reports Britain's Daily Express.
Abdul Azad, 54, and his son Ashraf, 28, appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Tuesday (29Jun10), accused of threatening to kill Afshan. Her brother was also charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The case was adjourned and both Abdul and Ashraf have been released on bail until 12 July (10). As part of the bail conditions the two men must not contact the actress at her new London address, where she is thought to be staying with friends.
Speaking outside of the family home on Thursday (01Jul10), accused brother Ashraf Azad said: “I don’t want to comment on anything. My dad is at the solicitors at the moment. We are going to get trouble from the community now. I am not happy at all. I could lose my job over this because the people at work will see this.”
