Mumbai court rejects TV actor Karan Oberoi's bail plea


Daijiworld Media Network – Mumbai

Mumbai, May 18: The bail application of Television actor and singer Karan Oberoi, who was arrested earlier this month on charges of raping and blackmailing a woman, was turned down by a Mumbai court on Friday, May 17.

Karan Oberoi has been a singer and actor since over 25 years now and has acted in several television serials including "Swabhimaan", "Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin" and "Saaya". He was one of the vocalists of "A Band of Boys".

According to ANI, Oberoi's lawyer Dinesh Tiwari said they would take the matter to the high court after the plea was rejected by Dindoshi sessions court.

"The bail application of my client has been rejected. We will take the matter to the high court as we are not happy with the order," Tiwari said.

He was arrested on May 6 after the woman, an astrologer, registered a complaint with the police on Sunday accusing him of rape and blackmail on the pretext of marriage.

Oberoi was sent to 14 days of judicial custody on May 9 by an Andheri court.

An FIR was registered at the Oshiwara Police Station in Mumbai under sections 376 (rape) and 384 (extortion) of the Indian Penal Code against Oberoi.
