New Delhi: Actor Aditya Pancholi was granted interim relief till 19th of July by Dindoshi Sessions court in a rape case filed against him by a Bollywood actress.

The actress had recorded her statement before the Versova Police in support of her previous complaint against Pancholi. Soon after the FIR was filed, the actor said that he is being "falsely implicated in this case."
