We have all been aware of how actress Gehana Vasisth has been in jail for almost 5 months now. However, the Court of Sessions at Dindoshi, Goregaon East in suburban Mumbai has finally allowed her, Gehna aka Vandana R Tiwari to walk free. Yes you read it right. She has been granted her bail after almost 5 months, her publicist Flynn Remedios informed today.
“Finally, after a long wait of nearly 5 months, Gehana Vasisth will walk free. The bail matter was held up as due to the lockdown declared in Maharashtra, the courts were almost non-functional and it was impossible to get the matter on board for hearing even in the Bombay High Court. Then, from May till the first week of June, the courts were on vacation and the holiday courts were reluctant to oblige her bail application. It was left to the regular Court of Sessions to hear the bail application, which was finally disposed off on Friday, Remedios informed.
Initially her bail application was rejected by the same Dindoshi Sessions court as the chargesheet was not filed. Gehana was granted bail in the other cases earlier in April itself, but the last matter pertaining to the Malwani Police Station was delayed due to the lockdown induced restrictions and the court vacation. Gehana has to complete the bail formalities and furnish sureties before the court to secure her release.
For the unaware, Gehana was arrested on 6th February by the Mumbai police Crime Branch in a pornography related matter. Eight others were also arrested along with her. While granting bail, the Dindoshi Sessions court has ordered that Gehana cannot leave the country without the permission of the court.
Many other celebrities like Sherlyn Chopra, Poonam Pandey, etc., were also questioned by the police in the matter.
