‘Peepli Live’ co-director’s rape case final arguments next week

A court here on Thursday fixed January 14 for commencing final arguments in a rape case involving “Peepli Live” co-director Mahmood Farooqui.

Additional Sessions Judge Sanjiv Jain, who was scheduled to begin the final arguments on Thursday, adjourned the hearing for January 14 after the public prosecutor informed the court that he was not prepared to advance the arguments and sought time.

Farooqui has denied the allegations, saying he was falsely implicated in the case.
