Criminal Who Threatened To Shoot Alia Bhatt Granted Bail!
Criminal Sandeep Sahu, who threatened to kill Alia Bhatt by demanding a ransom has been granted bail and will soon be out. The bail will not hamper the ongoing investigation.
Just
a
few
weeks
ago,
Mahesh
Bhatt
had
received
an
extortion
call
from
an
unidentified
caller
who
claimed
to
be
from
the
underworld
and
demanded
a
sum
of
Rs
50
Lakhs
and
if
he
failed
to
pay
up,
he
threatened
to
shoot
his
daughter
Alia
Bhatt
and
his
wife
Soni
Razdan.
The
film-maker
filed
an
FIR
with
the
Mumbai
Police
and
the
caller
was
nabbed
in
Uttar
Pradesh
and
sent
to
police
custody.
However,
it
is
now
reported
that
the
accused
Sandeep
Sahu
will
soon
be
granted
bail
on
a
sum
of
Rs
20,000
and
he
should
visit
the
police
station
every
Sunday
between
2-4
PM.
As
per
the
chief
metropolitan
magistrate,
granting
bail
to
Sandeep
will
in
no
way
hamper
the
ongoing
investigations
and
all
charges
are
pinned
against
him,
until
he
is
proven
guilty
of
the
crime.
As
per
the
investigations,
Sandeep
made
the
threatening
call
to
Mahesh
Bhatt
as
he
needed
to
repay
a
loan
of
Rs
6
Lakhs
to
his
relatives.
It's
also
surprising
that
the
police
have
booked
Sandeep
Sahu
under
criminal
intimidation
(section
506
of
the
IPC)
and
not
extortion
(section
387
of
the
IPC).
Sudha
Dwivedi,
a
lawyer
fighting
the
case
opened
up
by
saying,
"For
this
section
of
extortion
to
be
applicable,
there
should
be
some
transfer
of
valuable
security
or
money,
grievous
hurt
or
injury.
However,
there
is
no
such
thing
in
the
present
case.
The
police
in
their
overzealousness
has
booked
him
for
a
graver
offense."
We
hope
the
law
and
order
of
the
land
will
soon
catch
up
with
Sandeep
Sahu
and
deliver
the
much
required
justice.
The
delay
in
doing
so
will
only
make
things
worse
as
the
criminal
can
find
several
loopholes
in
the
Indian
judiciary
system
and
play
according
to
his
needs
and
requirments
leaving
justice
in
the
lurch.
