Gehana Vasisth Granted Pre-arrest Bail by Supreme Court in Pornography Case

Actress Gehana Vasishth has been granted a pre-arrest bail by the Supreme Court of India in the pornography case where Raj Kundra is also accused. Gehana had sought relief from arrest after a third FIR was filed against her by the Mumbai Police due to her alleged involvement in the porn racket. Last month, a court in Mumbai had denied interim protection from arrest to Gehana observing that allegations against her are of serious nature. The Bombay High Court had also rejected her pre-arrest bail plea earlier this month. The actress then moved to Supreme Court.

Gehana was arrested by Property Cell of Crime Branch Mumbai for her alleged role in shooting, uploading porn videos on a website. She has been named in an FIR for forcing the complainant to act in a pornography video. It is said that the ‘bold’ scenes that were promised to be edited out before being published on OTT platforms were not. Gehana was the director of the video that was shot of the complainant. She was arrested in February 7, and was granted bail in June.
