Armaan Kohli was Monday arrested from the set of “Bigg Boss Saath-7” following a complaint filed by British singer-actress Sofia Hayat for allegedly assaulting her during their stay in the reality show.
A source from channel Colors, which airs the popular show, too confirmed that Armaan was arrested Monday night.
Sofia filed her complaint at the Santa Cruz police station here Dec 11, just days after her eviction from the TV show. During her stay on the show, an argument had broken out between her and Armaan. Armaan ended up hitting Sofia with a mop and that left her hurt.
The Santacruz Police, after registering a case, transferred the complaint to their counterparts in Lonavala in Pune district, who conducted further probe into the matter.
Kohli has been booked under sections 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means), 504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to outrage the modesty of a woman) 506 (criminal intimidation) and 354 a (sexual harassment) of the Indian Penal Code, police said.
After filing of the FIR, the 29-year-old actress had tweeted: “Police report done. I’m exhausted with today!. the police have been amazing. Santacruz police have been very professional and courteous.”
Sofia also tweeted the news saying, “Omg! I just had a call now….arman Kohli arrested from bb house! Thankyou guys for all your support..you made me stronger and gave me the love to do huh is. I love you.”
