Bollywood actor Sunny Deol was granted bail by a railway court in over a decade-old case of allegedly entering a platform without permission.
Bollywood actor Sunny Deol was on Friday granted bail by a railway court here in over a decade-old case of allegedly entering a platform without permission and pulling a train's emergency chain during shooting of a film.
In compliance with the Rajasthan High court's order last week, Deol accompanied by his counsel Suresh Sahani, submitted a personal bond of Rs 25000 and two sureties of the same amount in the railway court before additional magistrate (Railway), Jaipur, Pooran Chand Sharma, who granted him bail.
The High Court had decreed that Deol could be arrested, if he fails to turn up in the court by April 17.
Besides Deol, actress Karishma Kapoor, fight master Tinu Verma and Satish Shah were accused in the 1997 incident.
They illegally entered the Narena railway station in Ajmer division for shooting the scene of film 'Bajrang' and illegally pulled the chain of a train.
According to the complaint, when the train was about to leave the station, unit members pulled the emergency chain and the train had to wait for additional 25 minutes, affecting the service on the sector.
Assistant station master of the station Sitaram Malakar had then lodged an FIR at the GRP police station Phulera under section 141 of the Railway Act 1989 holding Deol and his co-stars responsible for the delay in departure of the train.
Though after the probe, the police had exonerated the stars of any offence but the magistrate did not accept it and had issued non-bailable warrants against Deol and others.
On March 24 last, actress Karishma Kapoor was granted bail by the Railway court in the same case.
