Rupa Dutta Granted Bail in ₹1.48 Lakh Colaba Theft Case
Mumbai: Bengali Actress Rupa Dutta Granted Bail In ₹1.48 Lakh Colaba Theft Case, Advocate Says She Was 'Falsely Implicated' · freepressjournal.in

Rupa Dutta is an actress from Bengal who acts in Hindi and Bengali movies and TV shows.

Police in Mumbai, a big city in India, arrested her because they think she stole someone's purse.

The purse was taken in a busy area called Colaba while the owner was walking between Babulnath Temple and Colaba.

The purse had a shiny gold bracelet with diamonds, some cash, and a pair of Apple headphones inside.

The owner told the police, and the police watched security camera videos.

The police said the videos showed Rupa following the owner, and they said they found some of the stolen things with her.

Rupa went to court, where a judge decided she could go home for now.

To be free, she had to promise to pay ₹50,000 if she broke the rules, and she cannot leave the country without permission.

Her lawyer told the court that Rupa was blamed by mistake and did not do anything wrong.

The judge will decide later, in another court hearing, whether she really took the purse.
