Tuesday, 24th June 2014, 04:30 PM IST On Monday, 23rd June, the Versova Police arrested National Award winning filmmaker Subhash Kapoor who was accused of molestation by actress Geetika Tyagi.
Sources suggest that a constable was waiting outside Kapoor’s residence to arrest him upon his return. But to avoid that, Kapoor directly appeared at the police station on Monday morning along with his lawyer. This was when he was arrested and produced in court.
A police officer informed a popular daily,“We asked for police custody, but the court sent him to a 14-day judicial custody.” The filmmaker’s lawyer applied for his bail and Subhash was released, for a surety of Rs.10,000. ACP Milind Bharambe confirmed the news saying,“Subhash Kapoor was arrested yesterday and the court has granted him bail.”
The controversy started when Geetika Tyagi,who appeared in Abhay Deol starrer ‘One By Two’ recently, posted a link to a video which featured Subhash and his wife along with ‘Aurangzeb’ director Atul Sabharwal, and herself in the midst of a confrontation about Subhash having sexually abused her. Talking about the filmmaker’s arrest, Geetika said, “I'm relieved that he's been finally arrested. But had I known about the arrest, my lawyer would have opposed his bail application. But I'm sure he willbe convicted after the trial.” |
