A few days ago, it was reported that Slumdog Millionaire actor Madhur Mittal had been booked for sexual assault by Khar police. As per reports, a first information report (FIR) was filed against Madhur Mittal for allegedly barging into his ex-girlfriend’s house and assaulting her. Now, as per the latest report in India Today, Madhur Mittal has been granted interim protection from arrest by the Mumbai court. An anticipatory bail application was filed by Madhur Mittal, according to which, he proposed to his girlfriend in December when he had visited her in Goa.
The report in India Today states that according to the anticipatory bail application filed by Madhur Mittal, his girlfriend also came back to Mumbai a week after he did, and had stayed with his family in Mumbai for 4 days. She allegedly also asked him to give her a promise ring, and Madhur agreed. Madhur and the girl met through social media, and according to Madhur, the girl had an argument with his mother, after which she left the house and allegedly asked him to look for a house where they could both stay together. He reportedly also alleged that the girl started pressurizing him to share the rent of the apartment where she was staying, and he alleged that she pressurized him to get a joint account in their name.
India Today reports that in February, the girl threatened to break up after he got busy for a shoot in Jaipur. The report in India Today states that Madhur returned to Mumbai on February 13, and he claims that he was invited by the girl and that they consummated their relationship with her consent. They allegedly then got into a fight after which Madhur says he got busy with work. He says that 10 days later, the girl registered the FIR.
India Today reports that after hearing both of their arguments Judge SP Agarwal reserved the order for March 26, and granted interim protection from arrest till March 26.
Free Press Journal had earlier quoted the victim’s (actor's ex girlfriend’s) lawyer saying in a statement, “Madhur Mittal was livid with anger. He got into my client's room and without giving her any chance to talk, strangled her neck more than 15 times, slapped her multiple times, pulled her hair, yanked her ears and punched her under the right eye, physically lifted her and assaulted her. It was a sexual attack. She has sustained bruises and injuries all over her face, neck, chest, ribs, hands, back and ears and eyes."
