Shiney Ahuja in hospital

Actor suffers from acute back pain

Bollywood actor Shiney Ahuja, arrested for allegedly raping his domestic help, has been shifted to the state-run JJ Hospital in Mumbai, after he complained of acute back pain due to slip disc.

A sessions court directed the authorities at the Arthur Road Jail, where the actor is lodged since his arrest in June this year, to provide medical treatment and admit him to a hospital if need arose, PTI reported.

The 36-year-old actor, who was produced before the court, was seen limping and taking the support of two constables as he was not able to walk.

Ahuja was arrested on June 15 for allegedly raping his domestic servant at his residence in suburban Oshiwara.

The court will hear the arguments of the prosecution and defence on the framing of charges against the actor on October 7.
