On Thursday, a Hyderabad court granted interim bail to renowned dance choreographer Jani Master in connection with a sexual assault case. Jani Master requested the bail to attend the upcoming National Film Awards ceremony in Delhi, where he is set to receive an award for his choreography in the Tamil film ‘Thiruchitrambalam’. The court approved his request, granting bail from October 6 to October 10.
The sexual assault case was filed by a former associate of Jani Master, who accused him of repeatedly harassing and assaulting her since she started working as his assistant. The choreographer was arrested last month following the complaint, and police took him into custody for further investigation.
