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.
