Actor Abhinav Kohli, who was arrested on Sunday after his wife Shweta Tiwari, her daughter Palak Tiwari and Shweta’s mom Nirmala lodged a complaint against him at the Samta Nagar police station, was granted bail on Tuesday by a local court, reported Mumbai Mirror. Abhinav was arrested on charges of outraging a woman’s modesty, making sexually coloured remarks, assault, intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace and criminal intimidation under the IPC, and sections of the Information Technology Act, as revealed by Additional Commissioner of Police Dilip Sawant, to the paper on Monday.

Senior Inspector Raju Kasbe was quoted by the tabloid and revealed that ‘Abhinav was released after furnishing a bail bond of Rs 15,000.’
The bail comes in light of Shweta’s daughter Palak’s Instagram post, clarifying that Abhinav ‘has never physically molested me, or touched me inappropriately. However, he did persistently make inappropriate and disturbing remarks the impact of which is only known to my mother and I, and if any woman from any walk of life were to hear them she would be greatly embarrassed and provoked too. Words which would question the standing dignity of any woman, which you wouldn’t expect to hear from any man, especially not your “father”.’

Palak also went on to applaud Shweta and both her ‘families’ (ex-husband Raja Chaudhary and second husband Abhinav Kohli) and how her mother has taken the ‘social standing of a man’ always.
Abhinav Kohli's mother, Poonam Kohli refuted these allegations and revealed that her son was innocent and that Shweta had actually wanted a divorce, but Abhinav didn't. She also went on to reveal how her son had taken care of Palak since she was four years old and that even when Shweta was in Bigg Boss (season 4), it was Abhinav who looked after Palak.
