Bollywood actress Payal Rohatgi was sent to nine days in judicial custody on Sunday on charges of posting objectionable content on her social media page.

Payal had allegedly made defamatory remarks on former Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, his father Motilal Nehru, and the entire Nehru clan. A complaint was registered against her by Charmesh Sharma, a Youth Congress leader, following which she was booked under sections 66 and 67 of the IT Act. Although an earlier bail application was denied by the court on Monday, Payal has been granted bail by an additional district court judge in Rajasthan's Bundi. "With a dismal, disappointing look on her face, Rohatgi reached the jail with a police escort and was lodged in general female ward of the jail at 12.40 pm on Monday with five other female inmates. These inmates are accused of murder, loot and drug smuggling," the deputy superintendent of Bundi Central Jail informed a news agency.

"I am arrested by #RajasthanPolice for making a video on #MotilalNehru which I made from taking information from @google Freedom of Speech is a joke," Payal had posted on her Twitter page on the day of her arrest. An official statement from her post the bail is awaited.
