TV actor Pracheen Chauhan, who has been accused of molesting a 22-year-old actress, has been granted bail by the Borivali court today. The police have registered a case under sections 354, 342, 323, 502 (2) against the actor.
Prakash Bele, Senior PI Kurar Village police station, Malad (East), says, “The complainant along with a friend was invited by the accused to his residence on June 30. The accused was drunk and touched her inappropriately. He was produced before the Borivali court today and has been granted bail.”
Reportedly, the accused had invited the complainant and her friend to attend a party at his residence where Pracheen apparently misbehaved with her and tried to take advantage. However, when the actress resisted, he slapped her. The complainant soon left his residence and filed a complaint with the police the next day about his misconduct. On the basis of her complaint the police filed an FIR against the actor.
Pracheen has featured in several TV shows, including Kutumb, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka, Saat Phere: Saloni Ka Safar, Maat Pitah Ke Charnon Mein Swarg and Havan. He recently made a comeback on the small screen with Shaadi Mubarak. The show, which launched in August 2020, wrapped up in April this year.
