Actor Shiney Ahuja gets bail in rape case
Actor Shiney Ahuja has been granted bail in the case where he's accused of raping his domestic help. He's been asked to pay Rs 50,000 and has to leave Mumbai.
Ahuja has told the court he will move to Delhi to stay with his parents. He has to submit his passport to the police so that he cannot leave the country without permission. He will also have to report every week to a police station in Delhi. Ahuja has been denied bail twice in the past.
Reacting to the grant of bail, his wife Anupam Ahuja said: "I am overwhelmed that he has got bail. Our faith in judiciary has been restored. We have to now start planning our next step."
Ahuja has been kept at Mumbai's Arthur Road bail since June when he was arrested for allegedly raping his maid. He has denied this. Since the woman who was allegedly raped lives in Mumbai, Ahuja has to leave the city; this is often done in rape cases to prevent the accused from threatening the victim.
Last week, Ahuja fainted in court while the charges against him were being framed. The prosecution has submitted its evidence against him.
