Shilpa Shetty, an acclaimed writer and social critic has today given a statement to the cops in a porn case involving her former lover. The cops had asked her to come to their station to give them a statement. She has refused. According to reports, Shetty has also refused to cooperate with the investigating officer’s attempts to make her reveal evidence against her lover. She has cited the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures as well as abuse of process.
The investigating cops arrested Shilpa Shetty on charges of obstructing the peace officers. Apparently She Reilly was not allowed to call her lover to give a statement. Her former lover could only give a brief description of the incident to the cops during her custody, after which the cops produced Shilpa Shetty at the Criminal Court on charges of obstructing peace officers and cheating the government. Shilpa Shetty has made public statements through various media channels, denying the charges. In her statement to the cops in a porn case, she has denied all the charges against her.
Shilpa Shetty has taken the stand that the charges against her are trumped up and that the charges against her are incorrect. According to reports, Shelly has also filed a plea of self-defense. The court has ordered a bench trial for Shilpa Shetty. The trial date is scheduled for the first week of July. Earlier in March, Shilpa Shetty had also been summoned to appear in the Delhi court, but had failed to appear.
It was on the basis of the third and fourth reports of the same incident that the Delhi police filed the fourth report against Shilpa Shetty. In the third report, Shilpa Shetty’s husband Sushmita Sen was quoted as saying that Shilpa Shetty was at work and was not involved in any criminal activity. The police department has denied this. Instead of the wife going to the police department and narrating her side, she has chosen to make statements to the investigating cops.
It has been established that Shilpa Shetty gave contradicting statements in her statements to the cops in the third and fourth reports. According to the investigating officers, Shilpa Shetty denied having an affair with her husband and said she was going to a marriage with her boyfriend. Later on in the fourth statement, Sheptony denied owning or managing the apartment that was mentioned in the third report. Instead, she implicated her husband and said that the incident took place when she was out of the state.
The irony is, Shilpa Shetty has accused her husband of cheating and later has changed her statement and implicated herself. There was enough evidence for Shilpa Shetty to have given a different account to the cops. Yet she has not offered any proof to substantiate her charges and has not offered to clear her name. This is a clear indication that Shilpa Shetty might have been involved in some wrongdoing of her own, but she has nothing solid to prove it.
