Mumbai Court Rejects Gehana Vasisth's Pre-Arrest Bail Plea

Gehana Vasisth pre-arrest bail Rejected: A Mumbai sessions court on August 12 refused the anticipatory bail plea submitted by actor Gehana Vasisth.

The bail application was in connection with the second FIR filed against Vasisth in the pornography case. At first, Vasisth was arrested in February along with other producers for allegedly making pornographic films. The second FIR was lodged against Vasisth after a woman filed a complaint claiming that Vasisth forced her to do 'nude and semi-nude scenes' in the name of doing "bold scenes".

The complainant also accused Vasisth of threatening her saying that she will end her career if she didn't do the nude scenes. Vasisth's lawyer told the court that she was already arrested in a similar case in February and her phone and laptop were seized by police.

The lawyers argued that there is no need for Vasisth to get arrested again. He also argued in court that the Mumbai police filed a case against Vasisth because she supported Raj Kundra. The lawyer accused Mumbai Police of demanding money from Gehana Vasisth in return for not arresting her.

The Mumbai police opposed the argument and told the court that Vasisth allegedly played a 'prime role' in making pornographic films as she was one of the directors. The police also stressed the fact that Vasisth allegedly threatened a complainant.

Additional sessions judge Sonali Agarwal while rejecting Vasisth's plea said it won't be a "fit case for relief".

Gehana Vasisth had earlier made allegations saying that the second FIR was only lodged because she supported Raj Kundra after his arrest. The businessman Raj Kundra was arrested on July 19 and has been in police custody since then. Vasisth in her statement had said the accusation against Kundra and his associates of making pornographic films is false. She said that the films made by them were not pornographic but erotic.
