2008 slapping case: Supreme Court orders Govinda to apologise to victim

On Monday, the Supreme Court ordered Bollywood actor Govinda to apologise to an individual he allegedly slapped in 2008. The victim, Santosh Rai, had earlier moved the apex court alleging that the actor had humiliated him in public.

The incident reportedly took place at the Filmistan Studio while Govinda was shooting for the movie Money hai toh honey hai. The Bombay High Court had quashed Rai's case in 2013, saying that he had filed a case a year after the incident. Rai has claimed to have spent close to Rs 5-6 lakhs on the case, saying that he is more determined to fight the case, as the actor has not called him nor apologised.
