Dindoshi sessions court has rejected actor Alok Nath's anticipatory bail application in the writer-producer Vinta Nanda's rape case by denying him interim protection from arrest. The court has also allowed Vinta's intervention application, thereby requesting them to furnish written arguments by December 26 so that an order can be passed.

For the unversed, Alok moved the Dindoshi court in Mumbai for an anticipatory bail on December 14 in the sexual assault case registered against him on October 17 at the Oshiwara police station. When veteran actor was booked for rape under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and was summoned by the Court, he had apparently gone missing.

Now for the recent hearing, Alok was one again not present in the court. However, his counsel DN Goburdhan present there was quoted by a leading daily as saying, "Nanda is a writer who is creating a fairytale and the story of Alice in Wonderland." The report further states that Vinta's counsel Dhruti Kapadia defended her by arguing, "If Nanda is a storyteller then, he (Nath) is an actor posing as a 'sanskari babuji'. And if it was Alice in Wonderland, then why is the rabbit is not coming out of the hole?"

Meanwhile, if the Court orders in favour of Vinta, Alok will have to surrender himself to the Police.
