They say 'When a while is good, your mistakes are taken as a joke. But if a while is bad even your jokes are noticed as mistakes'. Well, the victim of the sort of situation is none rather then director Sanjay Gupta, who got booked under several non-bailable sections, when the media got an invitation associated with his movie Shootout At Wadala on a letterhead resembling that from the Police Commissioner's office. Sanjay Gupta, immediately, had applied for anticipatory bail, which the Sessions Court rejected yesterday.
Following this Gupta moved the High Court, which stayed the Sessions Court order, and placed the problem for hearing on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Ashok Mundergi, who happens to be Gupta's counsel, defended his client stating that the said invite resembling a letterhead from the Police Commissioner was the speculation of Balaji Films (who're the film's promoters) and that his client Gupta is innocent and is interested by the movie production. He also added that the said invite doesn't resemble a real note, and obviously states that it was for promotional purposes only.
Meanwhile, DCP Pratap Dighaokar of Zone 9 said that Gupta had told the police that he was the only accountable for sending out the invites, and nobody as opposed to him was to be blamed. Adding to this, Nandkumar Mehtar (Senior Inspector, Versova Police Station), where an FIR against Gupta was registered, said they'd opposed Gupta's plea, as his cause of the similar was not satisfactory and that he was questioned for 2 hours on Sunday, but, Gupta didn't cooperate.
