Rajkummar Rao Secures Conditional Bail in Lord Shiva Portrayal Case

His surrender follows accusations that his Shiva depiction in “Behen Hogi Teri” offended religious sentiments with a court hearing set for July 30.

Overview

  • Rajkummar Rao surrendered to a Jalandhar court on July 28 in connection with a 2017 complaint over his portrayal of Lord Shiva.
  • The court granted him conditional bail after he presented himself following an earlier non-bailable warrant.
  • His advocate said previous summons were sent to Rao’s former Gurugram address, delaying his awareness of court notices.
  • The FIR names Rao alongside the film’s director, producer and co-star and invokes IPC sections 295A and 120B and Section 67 of the IT Act.
  • The matter is adjourned for the next hearing in Jalandhar on July 30.
