New Delhi: Rakhi Sawant, known for her bold and unfiltered persona, has taken a significant step in her ongoing legal battles by officially cancelling the FIR against her ex-husband Adil Durrani. The Bombay High Court quashed the FIR filed under sections 498A (cruelty) and 377 (unnatural sex) of the Indian Penal Code, following Sawant’s issuance of a “no objection” statement in the presence of both parties.
This development marks a new chapter in the tumultuous relationship that has often played out in the public eye. Dig in for more details.
Rakhi Sawant Adil Durrani FIR quashed
Rakhi Sawant’s FIR against Adil Durrani, lodged in 2023 at the Amboli Police Station in Mumbai, was quashed by the Bombay High Court’s division bench comprising Justices Revati Mohite-Dere and Sandesh Patil. As reported, Sawant appeared before the legal panel and stated, “I have no objection to quashing the FIR”. Besides the quashing of this pivotal FIR, another filed against Adil for allegedly circulating obscene photos on WhatsApp, along with a cross FIR filed by Adil against Sawant, were also dismissed by the court.
The legal developments come amid Sawant’s active public life and participation in reality TV, particularly the much-watched Bigg Boss 19. Known for her sass and outspoken nature, Sawant has assured that her stint on the show will bring entertainment, confrontation, and loyalty to Salman Khan, the show’s host. Speaking about defending Salman Khan, she said in an exclusive conversation with TellyTalkIndia/Zoom, “Takle sahab, Kashyap sahab please mere bhai Salman Khan ke baare mein legend Salman Khan ke baare mein na bole apni rotiyaan na seekhen. Aap kuch kaam kar lo. Mujhe lagta hai ki Salman ji ke baare mein bohot log bolte hain faltu-faltu-faltu”.
This legal resolution and Sawant’s energetic presence in Bigg Boss 19 reflect her dual persona—a fierce legal fighter off-screen and a theatrical entertainer on it. With the FIRs now quashed, it appears Sawant may be ready to move forward, focusing on her career and public engagements.
This significant ruling, combined with Sawant’s declaration in the legal forum and her strong statements on television, signals a fresh phase following an intense series of legal proceedings and public drama.
