Shiney Ahuja will finally be breathing huge sigh of relief after he was granted bail after close to three months when he was put under the police custody when his domestics help pressed charges or rape and molestation against him on 15 June. There are few clauses that he will have to fulfill first. First, he has deposit 50,000 and thereafter he has been asked to stay away from Mumbai city.

Wherever he is outside Mumbai, he will have to report to a local police station over there. He will not be allowed to make trips outside India and he has already deposited his passport in the court. Now the prosecution tried level best to make sure that Shiney is not granted bail as he urged that Shiney being an influential and wealthy person would try and tamper with the evidence or destroy it.

What might have worked in shiney’s favor was a strong defense put forth by his lawyer saying that in no way was Shiney influential and was still a small time actor trying to make it to the big league. He also argued that the domestics help never used the word rape in front of the magistrate all she kept referring to was the word atyachar which in no way can be termed as rape and the medical reports also point to consensual sex as there are no injuries on her body.

Although he has the bail but in no way can he think that, he is out of the courts yet as the verdict will still take some time. This being a fast track court it is expected that the verdict will be given within six months without stretching the case for years.
