Madhur Bhandarkar-Preeti Jain: A major relief for filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar as he has been cleared of rape charges by the Supreme Court. Starlet Preeti Jain had filed the case in 2003 and Bhandarkar had moved the supreme court claiming proper procedure hadn't been followed during the probe. Preeti has also told the court that she is not interested in pursuing the 9-year long case.
In July 2003, Preeti Jain lodged a complaint against filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar alleging that he had raped her 16 times between 1999 and 2004, under the pretext of casting her as actor in his films. Madhur insists the complaint was of “cheating” and did not mention rape.
