Police fails to trace Armaan Kohli

MUMBAI: Three days after a case was registered against Bollywood actor Armaan Kohli, the Santacruz police has been unsuccessful in tracking him down. Despite sending teams at his Goa residence and his parents’ place in Suburban Mumbai, no one seems to have a clue regarding his whereabouts. Kohli allegedly assaulted his live-in girlfriend on Sunday.

On Monday, the police had registered a case against Kohli under sections 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and other relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.

Actress and ex-Bigg Boss contestant Sofia Hayat, who was allegedly assaulted by Kohli while they were in the reality show, came forward in support of the complainant Neeru Randhawa via social networking application Instagram. Hayat posted a story on Instagram and requested Mumbai Police to put Kohli behind bars.

Shantanu Pawar, senior police inspector of Santacruz police station said, “We are yet to trace the absconding accused, and our policemen are on the constant lookout for him.” When The Asian Age tried to contact Ms Randhawa, she was unavailable.
