Controversial queen, Rakhi Sawant is leading all the headlines once again as the Mumbai Sessions Court rejected her pre-arrest bail plea in a case filed by her ex-husband, Adil Khan Durrani. In his case, Adil had accused Rakhi of circulating explicit pictures and videos of him to multiple media channels.
While rejecting Rakhi’s bail plea, session Court Judge, Shrikant Bhosale stated that the materials shared by Rakhi were not only obscene but also sexually explicit. The judge also revealed that Rakhi has a criminal antecedent as a case of similar offence is pending against her. Talking about the same, Mr Bhosale stated:

“The relief of anticipatory bail is within the discretion of the court, and the court has to grant or refuse the said relief considering the facts and circumstances of a particular case... I am of the view that this is not a fit case to grant the relief of anticipatory bail.”

In the case, Adil accused Rakhi of violating his right to privacy by circulating his personal videos. Therefore, an FIR was lodged against her under sections 500 (defamation) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 67A (publishing sexually explicit material in electronic form) of the Information Technology Act.

However, Adil was in jail for a few months, and after returning, he dismissed Rakhi's claims.
