Bollywood actor John Abraham was convicted of rash and negligent driving by a Mumbai court and sentenced to 15 days’ simple imprisonment on October 14th. However, the actor obtained a bail immediately but had to pay a fine of Rs. 1,500, besides the required bail amount.
The sentence was in a 2006 case when the model turned actor had hit a bicycle with his Hayabusa superbike, injuring two men. However, John, who had himself hurt his ankle and knee in the accident, had taken both the injured cyclists to a nearby hospital before admitting himself.
