What has Rakhi Sawant said?
In her pre-arrest bail application, Rakhi Sawant said that the FIR has been lodged against her with the sole intention of harassing her, putting pressure on her, and implicating her in a false and fake case. Rakhi Sawant said that this FIR is nothing but an abuse of the process of law and it has no merit. He had filed a bail petition through his lawyer.
What did the lower court say?
The court had said that the material allegedly ‘broadcast or published’ by actress Rakhi is not only ‘obscene but is completely sexual in nature’. It said, ‘After considering the facts, allegations and circumstances surrounding the incident (the court has come to the opinion that) this is not a suitable case for grant of anticipatory bail.’
