Model Gehana arrested in Mumbai for 'flag insult'

August 18, 2012 15:07

Controversial model Gehna Vasisth was arrested today morning by the Pune Police from her residence at Oshiwara near Lokhandwala in suburban Mumbai and taken to the Deccan Gymkhana Police Station where an FIR has been registered against her for insulting the national flag under the National Flag Act.

Gehna had sported a bikini along with an Indian flag, draped around the lower part of her body.

The Deccan Gymkhana police will produce her in a local magistrate's court for remand on Sunday morning before the holiday court, said Sr Inspector of Deccan Gymkhana police station Manohar Joshi.

It is not sure if the offences or sections applied are bailable at the time of filing this report and there is a possiblility that Gehana may have to spend at least 3 days in police custody as Sunday and Monday are public holidays. The bail formalities could take more time, it is learnt.

Rajesh Singh, Gehana Vasisths manager said that they will apply for bail immediately as she has absolutely no criminal record and this case has been registered under pressure from a political party. The Pune city police had procured a warrant for the arrest of Gehana Vasisth, after the latter absconded and did not attend the police station in spite of summons being issued to her for her appearance.
