Rati Agnihotri's husband asks for out-of-court settlement
Actor Rati Agnihotri had filed a second complaint against husband Anil Virwani, after pressing domestic violence charges, accusing him of having threatened her with a knife.
Anil Virwani, the estranged husband of yesteryear Bollywood actor Rati Agnihotri, on July 14 told a court here that he wanted to opt for an out-of-court settlement of the domestic violence case filed against him by his wife.
"We told the court that we want to go for out-of-court settlement," said Shenal Khairnar, Virwani's lawyer.
Agnihotri, who starred in the 1981 blockbuster Ek Duje Ke Liye among other films, filed a complaint with Worli police here on March 14 this year, accusing Virwani of domestic violence. The 54-year-old actor said in the complaint that she had been suffering violence at Virwani's hands for a long time.
On April 29, she filed another complaint, alleging that Virwani had threatened her with a knife. Virwani then moved the Sessions Court seeking pre-arrest bail. The court granted him interim protection from arrest till it decided the application.
