actor
Pearl
V
Puri's
arrest
news
shocked
the
telly
industry
and
fans
this
morning.
The
actor
was
apparently
arrested
late
evening
on
Friday
(June
4)
in
the
alleged
rape
and
molestation
of
a
minor
and
has
been
released
on
bail
today
(June
5)
as
per
his
actress-friend
Karishma
Tanna.
The
actress
shared
a
picture
snapped
with
Pearl
on
her
Instagram
account
and
captioned
it
as,
"Satyamev
Jayate.
Truth
wins
and
he
did
win.

@pearlvpuri."
While
talking
to
Pinkvilla
about
Pearl's
arrest
earlier,
Karishma
had
called
it
a
baseless
allegation
and
said
that
it's
sheer
bad
luck
that
this
happened.
She
said,
"It's
a
baseless
allegation.
It's
sheer
bad
luck
that
this
has
happened
to
him.
I
have
known
Pearl
since
a
long
long
time,
nothing
like
that
has
happened.
It's
just
a
baseless
thing,
and
it's
sheer
bad
luck.
It's
just
the
wrong
phase."
For
the
uninitiated,
as
per
IE
report,
the
victim's
father
had
approached
the
Valiv
Police
in
2019
alleging
that
his
daughter
was
sexually
assaulted.
The
identity
of
the
accused
had
not
been
revealed
at
the
time
when
the
investigation
began.
Recently,
Nia
Sharma
had
tweeted,
"Dear
privileged
Girls
and
Women,
Do
not
make
the
heinous
allegations
of
rape
and
molestation
so
frivolous
and
casual
that
it
ceases
to
hold
any
value
for
posterity.

You
have
my
support✨.."
