NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea of Bollywood film producer Karim Morani challenging the Hyderabad High Court verdict cancelling his bail in a rape case.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra declined to grant Morani four days to surrender and asked the producer to surrender before the Telangana Police after deadline to surrender expired on Friday.
The Andhra Pradesh and Telangana High Court had upheld a trial court order of cancelling the anticipatory bail granted to Morani.
The Hayathnagar police had registered a case of rape against Morani in January this year after a 25-year-old MBA graduate from Delhi said he had raped her multiple times from June 2016 to January 2017 in Mumbai as well as at a film studio in Hyderabad.
