Shiney Ahuja granted bail

After spending nearly four months in prison, Bollywood actor Shiney Ahuja has been granted bail in the case where he's accused of raping his domestic help. He's been asked to pay Rs 50,000 and has to leave Mumbai.

Reacting to the grant of bail, his wife Anupam Ahuja said: "I am overwhelmed that he has got bail. Our faith in judiciary has been restored. We have to now start planning our next step."

As to whether the actor can continue acting in films is not known. The 36-year-old actor was seen crying and wincing in pain when he was produced in a Mumbai Court earlier this week .

Ahuja, who was unable to walk, was assisted into the courtroom by two constables. He was later brought outside and made to sit on a bench where he lied down, quivering. Following this his lawyer Sameer Nagre moved an application seeking medical treatment at the earliest.
