Arrested actor John Abraham escapes jail with Rs 20,000

Mumbai, Mar 9: Bollywood actor John Abraham, whose production house is making a Hindi movie - Vicky Donor on the controversial issue of sperm donation, got breather on Friday, Mar 9 when he was arrested and finally got bail over a surety of Rs 20,000.

The actor was sentenced to a 15 day jail-term in a rash driving case. The Mumbai court upheld the sentence against the actor in a 2006 case where the actor's motorbike skidded and rammed into 2 youngsters.

The actor known for his penchant for bikes and racing had to face this setback in the incident when he accidentally injured to pedestrians in 2006. The incident happened near the Khar Danda area of Mumbai.

Way back in Oct 2010, the Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate Court had sentenced the actor to 15 days imprisonment on charges of rash and negligent driving. The court had ordered a simple imprisonment considering that John was not driving under the influence and that he made the effort to take the two injured youngsters to hospital. He, himself had suffered injuries. The actor chose to file a plea against the Magistrate court's order.
