The 40-year-old TV actor was Thursday remanded in 14-days judicial custody by a Mumbai court. Bedi, a close friend of Karan, said the court decision is “the first positive step in the right direction” as he can now apply for bail. “We will be happy when Karan will come back home on bail. We are applying for the bail tomorrow. Given the merits of the case, I think we will get bail,” Bedi told reporters outside the court.
The actress said, “The real victory will be when we will get to quash this FIR (related to the rape case), which is baseless on every level.” Bedi claimed the case against Karan is “fake” and expressed concern over misuse of the laws by some women. “We have all the evidence in support that this is a fake case. Most importantly, it will be a personal victory for me when we punish women, who file fake cases because it undermines the rights and trauma of real women, who have real problems and real issues.”
