The scheduled marriage of veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty’s son was cancelled on Saturday following the arrival of a police team in Ooty, to investigate a complaint of rape and cheating filed by a woman against the groom, police sources said. The development came even as a Delhi court on Saturday granted anticipatory bail to Chakraborty’s wife and yesteryear actress Yogita Bali and their son Mahaakshay aka Mimoh in the case.

On Thursday, the Bombay High Court had refused to grant any interim relief from arrest to Bali and Mahaakshay. After the duo moved the Delhi court, Special Judge Ashutosh Kumar today granted the relief to Bali and Mahaakshay saying they have deep roots in society and are not likely to abscond.
Following the order, Mahaakshay and his mother approached the Bombay High Court seeking pre-arrest bail or an interim relief from arrest till the time they approached the concerned court in the national capital.
However, the court dismissed the pleas and refused to grant them any interim relief and said the duo could approach the court concerned in Delhi for pre-arrest bail. In her plea, the complainant had alleged that Mahaakshay had cheated and raped her after being in physical relation with her for around four years on the pretext of marriage.
