A sessions court has allowed the anticipatory bail application filed by Samir Bhojwani, builder and developer, against whom veteran actors Dilip Kumar and wife Saira Banu had filed a complaint of cheating and forgery among other charges.

Bhojwani had sought relief from the court, stating that since all the evidence in the case is documentary, custodial interrogation is not required. The court allowed Bhojwani’s plea, setting certain conditions, including cooperating with the probe.

The Economic Offences Wing of the Mumbai police had filed an FIR against Bhojwani based on the complaint by Kumar and Banu, alleging that he was threatening them over a plot in Bandra.
