Rani Mukerji’s brother released on bail

Aiyyastar Rani Mukerji's elder brother Raja, who was arrested on Sunday for allegedly molesting a former vice president of a television channel-turned-writer, has been released on bail by submitting Rs 10,000. According to sources, the 43-year-old film producer was presented before the Andheri court on Monday and released on bail. The police said that the complainant is a resident of Yari Road and she had allegedly been molested by Raja, whom she approached through a common contact, on the very first meeting on Sunday.

In her complaint, she said, "Raja told me to meet him and said that if he likes the script and the story he would talk to Rani. We met at the four Bungalow signal. We were going to a coffee shop... took me to a lonely spot at the end of Yari Road." She added that on the pretext of listening to the script, which she wanted to direct, the producer allegedly grabbed her and molested her and also asked her to 'compromise' if she wanted Rani as a lead in the movie.
