Mumbai: Court rejects actress Ruhi Singh's anticipatory bail plea

Ruhi Shaileshkumar Singh has been untraceable since her bail was denied

A Sessions court in Mumbai on Thursday rejected the anticipatory bail application of TV actor Ruhi Shaileshkumar Singh in a drink driving case. The Doordarshan actress has been untraceable ever since.

Senior PI of Khar Police Sanjay More said, "We are searching for the accused." On Tuesday, mid-day, on its cover page, reported how Singh assaulted a cop early on Monday when she wasn't allowed to use the loo at a KFC outlet in Bandra. Singh, who was in an inebriated condition, then fled the spot with her two friends Rahul Gaud and Swapnil Srivastav and crashed into vehicles parked opposite Santacruz police station.

Two FIRs were registered at both Khar and Santacruz police stations. While the Khar police arrested her friends, they served Singh a notice at her residence, asking her to surrender within two days. The law restricts cops from arresting women at night. After receiving the notice, Singh moved the court seeking anticipatory bail but it was denied.

A senior officer said, "We have strong evidence against the accused, including the CCTV footage which shows the accused misbehaving with the cops on duty. Before fleeing from the spot, she snatched the badge of a constable, which was later seized at Santacruz police station."
