Actor Pearl V Puri and all the saga around his arrest has become the talk of the town. Everyone is shocked to the core with the news and no one can believe what happened. For the unversed, he has been arrested because a case under POCSO has been filed against him as the reports say that he ‘raped five year old girl’ back in 2019.
Following this, all the biggest possible names in the television industry ranging from Ekta Kapoor to Erica Fernandes came forward and tried to voice out that Puri can never do such a thing. Puri is in Police custody and although there were rumors that he has been granted a bail but those are mere rumors.
As of now, Puri is still in custody at the Waliv police station under POCSO (Protection of Children from s*xual Offences) Act. Now, a latest update suggests that Puri will undergo a RT-PCR test and if tested negative, he will be shifted to Thane Jail.
According to ETimes TV, Sanjay Patil DCP (Zone 2, Mira Bhayander Vasai Virar), said, “Anyone who is arrested has to undergo a COVID-19 test. Pearl V Puri will also undergo a RT-PCR test and if it is negative, he will be shifted to Thane jail tomorrow. Right now, he is at the Waliv Police station.”
Following the arrest, Puri was remanded to a 14-day judicial custody.
Earlier in his statement, DCP Patil said, “The victim narrated the incident which happened in 2019 on the sets of a TV show. During the investigation, she took the name of the character, the accused was playing in the show. The allegations are not false, there is evidence, so Pearl was arrested. We are investigating further and the truth will come out in the court trial.”
