2006 accident case: John files appeal in sessions court

On October 14, the Bandra Magistrate Court sentenced the actor to fifteen days' simple imprisonment in 2006 accident case. He was immediately released on bail of Rs 1500 by the court after imposing a fine of the same amount on him.

Abraham's motorbike had skidded and knocked down two persons in suburban Khar on April 7, 2006. He himself then took the injured persons -- Shyam Kasbe and Tanmay Majhi -- to the hospital. The duo was discharged later.

The actor too was injured in the accident. A case of rash and negligent driving was filed against him.

According to his appeal-petition in the sessions court, the victims' statements did not indicate that Abraham was at fault.
