Rakhi Sawant Denied Anticipatory Bail in Private Video Leak Case

Mumbai: Rakhi Sawant was denied anticipatory bail by a Mumbai court in a case filed by her estranged husband for allegedly leaking their private videos.

The court rejected Sawant’s bail plea on January 8, while the detailed order was declared on Friday.

Sawant’s estranged husband Adil Durrani has registered the case against her under relevant sections of the Information Technology Act at the suburban Amboli police station.

Durrani alleges that Sawant is uploading their private videos on online platforms to defame him.

In the anticipatory bail plea, filed through her advocate, Sawant claimed that the FIR was registered against her bore the sole intention of harassing, pressuring and implicating her in a false case.

But the court found that the material allegedly “transmitted or published” by the actor “is not only obscene but sexually explicit”.

“Having considered the facts, allegations and circumstances of the incident, it is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail,” the court added.
