The Bombay High Court on Friday quashed an FIR against Bollywood actor Armaan Kohli for assaulting his girlfriend.
Kohli was arrested from Lonavala on Tuesday after an FIR was lodged by his live-in partner Neeru Randhawa for physical assault.
“The High Court has directed the superintendent of Arthur Road jail to release him (Armaan) as the matter has been quashed and nothing remains pending,” Kohli’s lawyer Lakshmi Raman said.
The case has been quashed after Kohli paid a hefty compensation to Randhawa.
“It is a full and final settlement between Armaan and Neeru, where he earlier paid an amount of Rs5 million [Dh18 million] and today he paid two post-dated cheques of Rs25,000,” Raman said.
The High Court judge also demanded an affidavit from Kohli saying he regrets whatever happened and that he will never attempt such an act ever again.
According to Raman, this affidavit was submitted in the court on Friday.
