Rajkumar Santoshi Official Statement after getting 2 years sentence

Rajkumar Santoshi is one of the most respected Directors in the Industry.

The director was sentenced to two years imprisonment by a Jamnagar court in a cheque bounce case.

Santoshi's advocate, Mr. Binesh Patel stated, "First of all, the court has stayed its judgement for 30 days granted Mr.Santoshi bail after we sought time to appeal against the judgement at a higher forum. The prosecution didn't produce any documentary evidence to prove that Mr. Santoshi had taken money at all. The prosecution itself has admitted that a third party had collected the said money from the complainant. In return the third party had provided altered eleven cheques of Rs.10 lakh each, which Mr. Santoshi was not aware of it.”

He added, “The magisterial court overlooked these facts and ruled against us. Therefore, on the ground of invalid and false claims, alterations happened in the cheques, the fact that the complainants do not want to present or call-in the said third party who had collected the money, about Mr.Santoshi does not know. So we shall appeal at a higher forum with the above highlighted points and even more."
