Sonali Bendre arrested, released on bail
MUMBAI: Film actress Sonali Bendre was on Tuesday arrested along with two others for posing on a cover page of a magazine in a dress, which allegedly hurt the religious sentiments of the people.
Bendre was produced before additional chief metropolitan magistrate Usha Iyer, who released her and two others accused on bail on personal bond of Rs 12,000 with one surety each.
The other accused are dress designer Ashali Charles Rebello and photographer Amit Shanta Kumar Ashar.
The trio were charged under Section 295 A IPC, which deals with deliberate and malacious acts intended to outrage the religious feelings of any class.
Bendre's picture on the cover page of Showtime magazine (March 16-31 1998 issue) showed her attired in a short kurta with bare legs. The ochre-coloured top worn by her also bore religious motifs.
Public prosecutor, Prema Ranade, said that the accused were arrested after the police received last week sanction from the state government to prosecute the actress and others.
Defence lawyers Ashok Shahani and Dharmendra Rohira moved bail applications on behalf of the accused saying that the case was an old one and the trio would make themselves available to the police as and when needed.
Ordering their release on bail, the magistrate noted that if the accused did not furnish personal bond they would be remanded to judicial custody till April 9.
All the three accused executed the personal bond of Rs 12,000 and were let off by the court.
