Priyanka Chopra's father gets bail

Indore, Sep 21 : A local court today released Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra's father Ashok Chopra on a bail of Rs one lakh in connection with a case lodged by her former private secretary Prakash Jaju.

Mr Chopra appeared before Judicial Magistrate V S Mubel, who fixed September 26 as the next date for hearing.

Mr Chopra's counsel Chandrashekhar Raikwar was present in the court.

Jaju, a resident of Mhow near Indore, had lodged a police compliant that underworld don Chhota Shakeel had made threatening calls on Priyanka's behalf over a dispute related to financial dealings.

However, he moved the court when no action was taken in this regard.

Meanwhile, Priyanka and her father approached the Madhya Pradesh High Court's Indore bench seeking stay in the case. The High Court's Indore Bench had acquitted Priyanka from the charges recently.

However, a case against her father was continuing in a lower court.

Meanwhile, Priyanka had filed a case against Jaju in Mumbai.
