Railways file charges against Sunny Deol and Karisma Kapoor in chain pulling case

As reported by PTI, a railway court has framed charges against actor-turned-politician Sunny Deol and Karisma Kapoor for allegedly pulling the emergency chain of a train while shooting for one of their films. The charges have come after more than 20 years. AK Jain, the counsel of Karisma Kapoor and Sunny Deol said that both the actors have challenged the order in a session court on Wednesday.

For the unversed, Karisma Kapoor and Sunny Deol were shooting for their film ‘Bajrang’ in 1997 at Sanvarda village near Phulera in Rajasthan’s Ajmer district. A train was delayed as they pulled its chain for shooting for which the Indian Railways finally framed charges against them. The train was 2413-A Uplink Express, and it was delayed by 25 minutes.

AK Jain said that in 2009 the charges were read out against Sunny Deol and Karisma Kapoor. Back then, they challenged in a session court in April 2010. The session court released both the actors from all the charges but on September 17, the railway court again framed the charges against both the actors.

Not only Sunny Deol and Karisma Kapoor, the stuntman of the film Tinu Verma and Satish Shah were also accused but they did not challenge the accusations.

The railway court has now framed Sunny and Karisma. The next hearing in the 1997 case is on September 24.
