Karishma Tanna Claims Pearl V Puri Got Bail; Says 'Truth Wins'
Naagin 3 actor Pearl V Puri's arrest news shocked the telly industry and fans this morning. The actor was apparently arrested late evening on Friday (June 4) in the alleged rape and molestation of a minor and has been released on bail today (June 5) as per his actress-friend Karishma Tanna.
The actress shared a picture snapped with Pearl on her Instagram account and captioned it as, "Satyamev Jayate. Truth wins and he did win. #gotbail @pearlvpuri."
While talking to Pinkvilla about Pearl's arrest earlier, Karishma had called it a baseless allegation and said that it's sheer bad luck that this happened.
She said, "It's a baseless allegation. It's sheer bad luck that this has happened to him. I have known Pearl since a long long time, nothing like that has happened. It's just a baseless thing, and it's sheer bad luck. It's just the wrong phase."
