A metropolitan magistrate (MM) on Friday (Septemeber 5), rejected the bail application of Prakash Jaju, former secretary of actress Priyanka Chopra, who had been arrested for sending obscene and threatening messages to the actress.
Jaju, who is currently in police custody, yesterday filed an application for bail on the grounds that the police do not need his custody for investigation. The magistrate, however, rejected the bail observing that investigation is still underway and his custody is required.
Jaju had been arrested on August 26 by the Mumbai police from Madhya Pradesh for allegedly sending obscene and threatening SMSs to Chopra since June 2002 when he started working as her secretary.
He had been absconding for two years and has been accused of threatening Chopra with dire consequences if he is not given his job back.
Jaju had been working as Chopra's secretary from June 2002 to July 2004. However, Chopra noticed that Jaju was trying to get "close" with her and started harassing her by sending her obscene and threatening SMSs demanding her to stop talking to any other man.
He had also allegedly threatened to harm her professionally and personally if she does not marry him. Jaju had also allegedly attempted to take overdraft from Chopra's bank and took about Rs 10 lakh from producer Sanjay Gupta for the film 'Plan' and had not informed Chopra about it.
