After Princess Diana's tragic death, her butler and  close friend Paul Burrell was among a small group tasked with going through her belongings. Her Kensington Palace apartment was filled with beautiful dresses, expensive jewellery and her handwritten letters. But the princess' mum and sister were keen to destroy some of the items and ripped up much her correspondence - which Paul disagreed with. He believed everything should be saved for Princes William and Harry to go through when they were older.

In their joint petition, Ms. Ranaut and her sister, Rangoli Chandel, said they apprehend danger to their lives and property in Mumbai.
