‘My husband is innocent’

The wife of Vikas Sachdeva, accused in actress molestation case, broke into tears in court after he was remanded two days police custody.

The 39-year-old Sachdeva, a senior executive at a private company, was arrested on Sunday after the actress accused him of molesting her mid air.

“The allegations are absolutely false. My husband is innocent and a family man. According to the police report, my husband was arrested from airport, which is not true. He was home by 12:30 am midnight on Sunday. He slept for whole night and next morning when the cops came, he was not at home because he had gone to buy some grocery,” said Divya, wife of Vikas Sachdeva. When Sachdeva reached home, police took him into custody and drove to Sahar police station.

On Saturday Sachdeva had gone to Delhi to attend the condolence meeting of his maternal uncle, who passed away on Friday.

“My husband caught early morning flight on Saturday and left for Delhi to attend the condolence meeting. He returned to Mumbai on the same day and he was very tired and went to fast asleep. He was emotionally as well as physically exhausted. He had told cabin crew not to disturb him for food or drink onboard. He was asleep in mid air. There is possibility that he might have rested his foot on the armrest of actress’ seat and if his foot touched the actress’, my husband apologised immediately.”
