The Madhya Pradesh High Court’s Indore bench has already dismissed the accused’s anticipatory bail application in the case related to submitting fake documents for seeking bail on April 13.
Karan was earlier arrested on the charges of rape on October 26, 2021 after evading arrest for nearly six months, but was granted a regular bail in the matter.
