Bigg
Boss
7
was
infamous
for
various
reasons
and
one
of
them
was
an
assault
case
wherein
actor
Armaan
Kohli
had
physically
assaulted
Sofia
Hayat
during
a
task.
In
December
2013,
Armaan
was
picked
by
Lonavala
Police
from
the
Bigg
Boss
house
for
allegedly
assaulting
co-contestant
Sofia
Hayat
during
their
stay
on
the
show.
Well,
the
cops
have
now
decided
to
reopen
the
case
once
again,
as
eight
years
after
the
incident,
Sofia
got
a
notice
from
the
Maharashtra
police.
The
former
model
informed
ETimes
TV
that
the
Maharashtra
police
has
contacted
her
and
she
might
travel
to
India
for
the
case.
She
told
the
portal
that
she
has
forgiven
Armaan
Kohli
but
also
wants
an
example
to
be
set
for
society.
Sofia
Hayat
told
the
portal,
"The
case
is
getting
reopened
after
eight
years.
They
are
now
going
back
to
court.
They
want
to
know
if
I
want
to
continue
with
the
case.
It
is
crazy
because
they
had
got
everything,
the
video
footage
from
Bigg
Boss
but
nothing
happened.
Salman
Khan
got
Armaan
Kohli
bailed
out
at
that
time.
But
they
had
the
video
footage
to
arrest
him
and
now
they
want
to
know
if
I
want
to
continue
with
the
case
which
I
want
to
do.
So
now
the
case
is
going
to
reopen
in
Mumbai.
The
truth
is
never
stressful
for
me.
I've
forgiven
him
but
I
still
think
that
an
example
needs
to
be
made,
he
has
apologised
to
me
and
he
did
say
sorry
to
me.
But
everyone
needs
to
know
clearly
that
you
can't
hit
a
woman.
It
has
to
continue
until
the
law
itself
in
India
does
something
to
change
the
fact
that
it's
not
ok
to
hit
a
woman.
I
hope
they
put
some
strict
laws
against
violence
against
women
regardless
of
whether
it's
a
celebrity
or
not."
For
the
unversed,
Sofia
had
filed
an
FIR
at
the
Santacruz
police
station
a
week
later
and
he
was
arrested
on
the
basis
of
the
same.
After
registering
a
case,
the
Mumbai-based
police
station
transferred
the
complaint
to
their
counterparts
in
Lonavala,
Pune,
who
conducted
a
further
probe.
Armaan
Kohli
was
booked
under
sections
324
(voluntarily
causing
hurt
by
dangerous
weapons
or
means),
504
(intentional
insult
to
provoke
breach
of
peace)
and
509
(word,
gesture
or
act
intended
to
outrage
the
modesty
of
a
woman)
506
(criminal
intimidation)
and
354
a
(sexual
harassment)
of
the
Indian
Penal
Code.
It
has
to
be
noted
that
Sofia
Hayat
was
reportedly
disappointed
with
the
makers
and
Salman
Khan
for
not
taking
a
stand
for
her.
Hence,
she
was
also
absent
from
the
grand
finale
of
Bigg
Boss
7.
Let
us
tell
you,
she
is
known
for
her
bold
and
controversial
statements,
and
fans
are
eager
to
know
more
about
the
case.
