Bollywood actor Inder Kumar gets bail in rape case

Mumbai: Bollywood actor Inder Kumar, who was arrested on charges of rape, was released on bail on Tuesday, said his manager. He was granted bail on Monday, his manager Om Lakhani confirmed. “The police could not find any evidence against him and he was granted bail yesterday against a bond of Rs.30,000,” Lakhani told IANS. Inder, who has acted in over a score of Bollywood movies, including the Salman Khan-starrer blockbuster “Wanted” and a horror show on television, was arrested by Versova police in April after a 23-year-old model-cum-actress lodged a complaint accusing him of raping her.

The victim also alleged that she was assaulted and hit by a beer bottle by Inder, who kept her confined in his Andheri home. Inder’s wife Pallavi recently defended her husband saying he had been falsely accused by the victim who was allegedly having an affair with Inder. “I would like to say that my husband is innocent and the allegations put on my husband are false. The girl who is claiming that Inder has raped her was willingly staying with my husband from 21st to 24th April 2014 in his house,” the Times of India quoted Pallavi as saying. While Pallavi admitted to her husband having an affair, she stood firm on the fact that he had not raped anyone. However, medical reports confirmed that the victim had been raped and further said that she was brutalised, DNA reported. “The report shows that the victim had cigarette burn marks on her neck and shoulder and marks of her being stabbed with a sharp object. The cops also confirmed the cut marks and burns wounds on the victim’s body indicating that she was tortured by the actor,” says a the report. With inputs from IANS
