August 22nd, 2009 - 9:29 pm ICT by ANI ( 1 comment )

Mumbai, Aug.22 (ANI): A local court here on Saturday granted bail to Mumbai-based TV actress Urvashi Dhanorkar, who has been booked under the Juvenile Justice Act and the Child Labour Act, for allegedly physically abusing her 10-year-old housemaid.

Dhanorkar was arrested on Saturday morning.

Dhanorkar’s lawyer contended the black marks and swelling on the child’s face were created by bee stings and the burn scars on her forearms were caused by boiling water fallen on her.

The actress was arrested after medical reports confirmed that she was physically abused.

The girl had been allegedly brought from Amravati to Mumbai in pretext of adoption and education. She was allegedly punched in her eye and was left with black and bruised marks, besides burns on her forearms. (ANI)
