Jhootha Hi Sahi is just around the corner for release and news surfaces, that the lead actor John Abraham has been sentenced to 15 days imprisonment. The first thought that strikes is whether this is a publicity stunt or is this for real…Well, seems like its true.

A local court on Thursday held Bollywood actor John Abraham guilty of an offence of rash driving and sentenced him to 15 days simple imprisonment. The Bandra additional chief metropolitan magistrate S V Kulkarni also fined the actor, known for his love for bikes, Rs 1,500 for causing an accident and injuring two men when his motorcycle hit a cyclist at 11pm on Khar Danda Road four years ago in April, 2006. Of the fine amount, the magistrate said, Rs 1,000 must be paid as compensation to one of the victims. 

Abraham who was present in court when the sentence was pronounced paid the fine immediately and his lawyer sought bail and a stay of the order to be able to appeal against it. The court stayed its order for a month and granted him bail. When contacted later, Abraham refused to comment.
