Alok Nath moves court for anticipatory bail

December 14, 2018 22:18

Actor Alok Nath, accused of rape by a woman writer-producer, has filed anticipatory bail application in a Mumbai court.

The plea for pre-arrest bail was filed before Additional Sessions Judge S S Oza Thursday.

The court on Friday adjourned the matter to December 20, after the complainant's lawyer sought time to file an intervention plea opposing bail for Nath.

A rape case was registered against Nath by the Mumbai Police on November 21 based on a complaint filed by the writer-producer who accused him, in a social media post, of raping her 19 years ago.

Nath refuted the allegations and filed a civil suit against the complainant, seeking Rs 1 as damages for defaming him.

Though she did not name Nath in the post, the complainant referred to him as the actor who is known as the "most Sanskari person". -- PTI
