Some obscene videos and photos of Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha had gone viral on social media some time ago, for which an accused has been arrested. But the court declared his arrest illegal and ordered his release. This case was registered at Bandra Police Station on 13 November 2026 on the complaint of Sonakshi. He had alleged that a person from Delhi had shared his morphed pictures on social media. In this case, the accused was arrested from Delhi on Saturday and presented in the Magistrate Court of Mumbai. However, the court considered his arrest illegal and ordered his release.
The accused who made obscene photos of Sonakshi arrested
Accused Aryan Deepak Jain was produced before the Magistrate in Bandra Court on Saturday. He was arrested on 14 November 2026 at around 10:11 am from Jagatpuri Police Station in Shahdara, Delhi. Later he was released and the reason for this has also come to light. During the hearing, Bandra Police had sought three days’ custody of the accused. Police said that they have to find out the medium or electronic device through which the alleged obscene picture of the actress was prepared. Apart from this, further investigation has to be done in the matter.
Accused got bail due to police mistake
However, the accused was not produced in the nearest magistrate court in Delhi before being brought to Mumbai. On this the magistrate said- It seems that the police brought the accused directly to this court from Delhi, whereas the legal procedure of first producing him in the nearest magistrate court there was not followed. The investigating agency has not given any satisfactory reason on record to understand why this necessary legal procedure was not followed.

However, lawyers Aman Shahi, Prashant Trivedi and Aditya Jain, appearing for the accused, strongly opposed the demand for police custody. The lawyers argued that the accused was not given the necessary notice before his arrest nor was he told the reason for the arrest. He also said that the accused was taken out of Delhi limits by flight in a very confidential manner. The lawyers said in the court that the accused was not produced in the local magistrate court of Delhi, although it is necessary to do so as per the law. Due to the influence of the complainant, the authorities took this action in haste. The accused says that he has not committed any crime and prima facie the provisions of the said section are not applicable to the facts of this case.
Police did not follow these rules before arrest
On the notice related to the arrest, the court said that the crimes charged against the accused have a maximum punishment of seven years. In such cases, the police officer has to follow the rules required under Section 35(1)(b) of the Indian Civil Security Code (BNSS). Why is there a need for arrest in this? Recording the reason for this is also included. The court said- It is not clear from the record that the investigating officer has followed these important rules satisfactorily. Merely citing the need for further investigation cannot justify arresting and detaining a person, especially when the legal rules governing arrest are not followed.
