The news agency states that a Mumbai sessions court confirmed his conviction but altered the one-year imprisonment sentence to a bond for good conduct. Essentially, the magistrate allowed him to walk free under this bond.

Furthermore, the 59-year-old actor was instructed to make a payment of approximately INR 1.5 lakhs to the victim.
