Mumbai:
Actor Saif Ali Khan has been granted bail after he was arrested at his lawyer's chamber in south Mumbai's Nariman Point on Wednesday evening in connection with an assault case.
He had been taken to the Colaba police station where a case has been registered by Iqbal Sharma who claims that the actor assaulted him and fractured his nose at Wasabi, a restaurant at the fancy Taj hotel, on Tuesday night.
Here is the actor's statement on the entire incident:There was an ugly incident last night where my friends and the ladies with us were abused and I was assaulted.
I was hit and I defended myself. I have been to the police station to answer the requirements of law as I am a law-abiding citizen. I have also filed a complaint about what happened last night and I am confident justice will be done.
I have seen the interviews given on TV and they look like decent people and I cannot believe that the same people were so aggressive the night before and the lies that they are saying about me with such straight faces.
I think they have the CCTV footage in the restaurant that will prove everything.
I hope the media is able to remain impartial while the matter is being decided. I don't think any gentleman would have behaved differently.
