TV actor Sai Ballal sent to judicial custody till July 30
Mumbai, July 16
Television actor Sai Vitthal
Ballal, who was nabbed for allegedly molesting and sending pornographic
clips to a woman co-actor, was remanded to judicial custody till July 30
here on Thursday.
He was arrested on Wednesday.
A
metropolitan magistrate in Borivali Court, north-west Mumbai, remanded
the actor after he was produced by the local police following a
complaint by the woman, an official said here.
Ballal, who acts
as Kamal Narayan Rajvanshi aka Bhaiyyaji in the tele-serial "Udaan", was
taken into custody on Wednesday evening after the woman complained
about him for allegedly sending objectionable clips, messages and
molesting her on multiple occasions since last April.
She further claimed that her complaints to the serial's producers went unheeded and she was removed from the teleserial.
The
woman then approached the Cine and TV Artistes Association (CINTAA)
which suggested that since it was a criminal matter, she should approach
the police.
Ballal was picked up from Film City in Goregaon on
Wednesday along with two accomplices suspected of helping him, and
arrested later in the evening.
