On 5th June Television Star Pearl V Puri was arrested and accused of raping a minor girl, the incident happened on the sets of a television show that aired back in 2019
Many celebs came in support after the arrest and claimed that the accusations are false. Ekta Sharma the mother of the victim took to her social media on Monday saying “A lot of people are calling and asking me to come to the media and speak. My silence should not be construed as my weakness. My respect and faith in the judiciary have made me take this step. Many people have chosen to ridicule me and my daughter in public which is not permissible by law. Publicizing a victim’s name in public is an offense. I choose to remain silent as I am not the complainant in the case. Whatever is true shall come out. The matter is sub Judice and hence I am not speaking to anyone as the custody case is pending in the Highcourt and it’s my earnest request to all that please don’t make a mockery of the legal system as I have given my statement to the concerned authorities. Let the truth prevail”
Ekta Kapoor on Saturday had claimed that she talked to Ekta Sharma, she told that it was her husband that made up the case because he wanted the custody of her daughter
Later this week Divya Khosla Kumar came in support of Pearl V Puri by commenting on Ekta Sharma’s post saying “Pearl lost his father recently, his mother is a cancer patient… she has no one to help her .. she has been calling me repeatedly crying …. He has been put behind bars in a rape case under such strong sections that there is no bail … High court is closed due to Covid & holidays …. in the meantime if something happens to Pearl’s mother who should we hold responsible ???? Coz the law will take its own time …. U have enough time on hand but a senior citizen suffering from cancer …. Do you realize the sensitivity of the whole case?”
