Mumbai Court Grants Protection from Arrest to Rakhi Sawant in Case Filed by Ex-Husband

A Mumbai Court has granted interim protection from arrest to Bollywood actor and model Rakhi Sawant until December 7 in a case filed against her by her estranged husband.

The case alleges that she leaked private videos of the couple.

The Dindoshi sessions court granted this temporary relief after Rakhi Sawant’s husband, Adil Durrani, sought to intervene in her anticipatory bail plea.

As the hearing on the pre-arrest bail plea was adjourned at the request of her husband to allow him time to file his statement, the court deemed it appropriate to grant protection.

The court directed the police not to take any “coercive action” against Rakhi Sawant until December 7.

The suburban Amboli police registered the case against Sawant under section 67A of the Information Technology Act based on a complaint by Durrani.

Durrani has accused Rakhi Sawant of exhibiting their private videos at various locations to defame him.

Under section 67A, anyone who publishes or transmits material in electronic form containing sexually explicit acts or conduct is liable to be punished for a term that can extend to five years and with a fine that can extend to Rs ten lakh.

Rakhi Sawant’s pre-arrest bail plea, presented through advocate Ali Kaashif Khan Deshmukh, asserts that the complainant’s sole intention is to harass her.
