December 15, 2018:
On Friday, Actor Alok Nath filed an anticipatory bail petition before the Dindoshi sessions court, a month after the Oshiwara police had booked him for rape following a complaint from screenwriter Vinta Nanda.
Nath had earlier filed a civil suit against Nanda, after she wrote a social media post in October, detailing how she was sexually assaulted by Nath.
He had also sought an injunction on Nanda from speaking against him on any platform. The court, however, had refused to grant the injunction.
On Friday, advocate Dhruti Kapadia, representing Nanda, also sought to file an intervention application, opposing Nath’s petition. While the application was opposed by Nath, the court directed Nanda to file the petition.
The court is likely to decide next week whether the intervention petition should be heard. The court will also hear detailed arguments by Nath on Dec 20.
