Rakhi Sawant faces trouble Bombay HC rejects pre-arrest bail plea in a case filed by Adil Durrani, husband

In a new development, Justice Sarang Kotwal of Bombay High Court on Wednesday, dismissed Rakhi’s pre-arrest plea in an FIR registered against her by her estranged husband Adil Durrani

Durrani has alleged in his complaint that Rakhi Sawant had circulated his private, sexually explicit videos on media channels.

Earlier Rakhi had approached the Bombay HC challenging the sessions court order rejecting her pre arrest bail plea.

Sawant was booked under sections 500 (defamation) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 67A (publishing sexually explicit material in electronic form) of the Information Technology Act.
