Shilpa's mother appears in court, bail plea deferred

SURAT JULY 24. A local court today deferred till July 29 the bail petition of Sunanda Shetty, mother of actress Shilpa Shetty and prime accused in a case of alleged extortion.

Sunanda's lawyer, appearing in civil dress, urged the Chief Judicial Magistrate, R.P. Mehta, for deferring the matter in view of lawyers going on a two-day strike. This is for the sixth time that Sunanda's bail plea has been deferred.

In keeping with a judicial directive, Sunanda was present in the court.

Umra police in Surat had registered a case against Shilpa's parents Surendra and Sunanda and a Malaysia-based gangster for allegedly threatening the owner of Prafful Sarees, Pankaj Agarwal, to pay Rs. 80 lakh payable to the actress for working in an ad film. — PTI
