Court grants bail to Raja Choudhary

A local court today granted bail to Bhojpuri actor Raja Chaudhary and his friend and small time actress Shraddha Sharma, who were arrested last night for allegedly causing nuisance by fighting in a public area in suburban Mumbai.

According to the police, an inebriated Chaudhary had last night gone to Sharma's flat in suburban Oshiwara where the duo got into a fight following which the Bhojpuri actor allegedly assaulted Sharma. Neighbours and other society members hearing Sharma's screams informed the police who rushed to the spot.

"Even as the duo was being taken to the Oshiwara police station, they continued fighting on the road and refused to pay heed to a police constable," a police official said.

Both Chaudhary and Sharma were produced before a metropolitan magistrate's court here, which remanded them to judicial custody and then granted them both bail on a bond of Rs4,000 each.

This is not the first time Chaudhary has been on the wrong side of law. The actor was detained by police for allegedly creating a scene outside the house of his ex-wife and TV actress Shweta Tiwari and a month back, Chaudhary was fined for drunken driving.
