Drug abuse case: Rahul Mahajan files marriage certificate

Rahul Mahajan, a reality TV star who faces trial in a case of alleged drug abuse and married in a television show recently, today submitted his marriage certificate in a Delhi court.

Mahajan, who was asked to file the certificate, filed it before Additional Sessions Judge JPS Malik, saying his marriage was registered in Mumbai.

Earlier, the court had released his passport to allow him to go to the Maldives for honeymoon with his wife Dimpy Ganguly for 21 days and put several conditions on him.

As per the conditions, 35-year-old Mahajan was to file the marriage certificate in the court which today fixed the matter for further hearing on June 2.

Mahajan's marriage with Ganguly, 21, was solemnised live during a TV reality show Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega on March 7.

Mahajan, son of slain BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, who was arrested on June 5, 2006, under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, has been on bail since June 14 that year.

The trial in the drug abuse case against Mahajan and others is yet to start as the records are with the Delhi high court which is hearing various revision petitions against framing of charges under the NDPS Act.

The high court is hearing a bunch of petitions filed by Mahajan, Sahil Zaroo, Harish Sharma, personal assistant of Pramod Mahajan, challenging the framing of charges against them.

Mahajan has been accused of consuming and distributing drugs at the official residence of his slain father on the night of June two, 2006.
