Four years after he was accused of rash and negligent driving, Bollywood actor John Abraham was on Thursday sentenced to 15 days’ simple imprisonment by the Bandra magistrate’s court.
In April 2006, Abraham had rammed his Yamaha Hayabusa motorbike into a cycle, injuring two people in the accident.
Today, the verdict was pronounced and the actor was sentenced a jail term of 15 days. However, the actor was granted bail from the court. Abraham was present with his lawyer Robin Periera in the court today and nodded when the court pronounced the judgment. Metropolitan magistrate S V Kulkarni held him guilty of reckless driving and causing hurt but took into consideration the fact that he did not flee. “Your move was humane and kind as you immediately took both victims to the hospital.”
John is a lover of motor bikes and has always professed safe driving. He has said that the accident that occurred in 2006 was ‘unfortunate’.
